I've not had a great deal of experience with ad-supported services since I tend to have workarounds for all the major ones in the UK. For example, I use my Sky box to "download" ITV Hub shows rather than stream them - allowing me to fastforward ad-breaks as it's old technology on a hard drive!
All that is to say that I still empathise with the comments of David Pierce from The Verge about seeing the same ads over and over - especially on ad-funded streaming services: https://www.theverge.com/2022/9/5/23338364/streaming-service-ads-repetition I've definitely noticed this the occasional time I've watched something on, say, Amazon's Freevee. And they're not even as well targeted as seemingly Pierce's ads are in the piece. Even high repetition on YouTube ads were driving me mad until I upgraded my YouTube Music subscription a couple of pounds to get ad-free YouTube (best two pounds a month I spend - assuming you already use them for music streaming).
