Lol wut. Just ask your friends to pause or wait till the episode is over. A 45 minute episode without ads flys by because the tension / flow of the show is never lost artificially by some cringey #ad for whatever.

Just ask your friends to pause

I do. Ads are better though than having to pause repeatedly to go pee or refill water or to talk about the show.

wait till the episode is over.

Then the next immediately starts (long outro+intros solve that though). Also, no guarantee I can wait that long.

For real. Every issue this person raises is easily solved without needing inject yet another Dove body wash or wingstop commercial.

I'm suggesting injecting fewer ads, not more. Just not none in the specific case of group binge-watching. Simply because I need to break frequency of like 3 people combined and don't want to be blamed for the seemingly excess pausing.

But that's the same problem with pausing.
