I’m not willing to pay for premium streaming without ads, but I would pay a little more to only have ads without dogs if it meant I wouldn’t have to deal with my dogs trying to kill my TV.

    Wait till you find out that dogs are trainable and you can get them to stop doing that lol

      @Majorllama@lemmy.world our dog is trained IF we give him a command like “leave it” BEFORE instict kicks in. If we see another dog while walking, “leave it” works. If we knew the ad was coming, we’d be fine. We’re usually half watching dumb tv to wind down when our dog tries to save us from dog on the other side of the glass. Once he’s in “holy shit, they’re coming to kill my pack mode”, we can only turn the tv off. Can’t pause the ad. Can’t even swith services since our “smart” tv continues playing the previous video in 1/4 of the screen while selecting another app.

      Our dog is only 2. If he’s like every other dog we’ve owned l, he will either accept that nothing ever comes through the tv or no longer have the energy to defend his pack.

        If your dog is only trained when you are around and giving commands then it isn’t very well trained.

        A properly trained dog shouldnt require commands to keep them from barking/attacking a TV.

        There are levels of dog training and most people do basically none or stop at basic commands like stop/sit/come here.

        I truly trained dog should be able to sit still while another untrained dog barks in its face without you having to give any commands.

    Sounds like a training problem? Unless there’re some extraneous circumstances that prevent it (I get it happens sometimes, especially with rescues). But even then, you can try to work on it.

    You get ads with dogs cos the ad server knows you have dogs… I bet you regret that one time you didn’t “reject all” cookies… Welcome to targeted advertising.

    You hear that? This guy doesn’t want dogs on his TV!!! This guy HATES DOGS!!! THIS GUYS AN ASSHOLE!!!

    And THAT is what I go through every holidays when I go to my sisters house, and her dog wants to lick me. I would rather not be licked.

    Mom: See? See? He HATES dogs!!! Who hates dogs? My son apperently!

    No mom. I just don’t like being jumped on, and trampled, and licked. If these dogs were calm, and not licking me, I’d be ok.

    Older dog comes by, and rests his head in my lap. Me petting him.

    Mom: Ooooh, you only hate SOME dogs! Whats wrong with your sisters dog???

    I DON’T HATE DOGS!!! STOP SAYING THAT!!!

    Can we get ads without doorbells or knocking, too, for the same reason?

    Oh and police sirens. Especially on the radio.

    Make more ads with doorbells and animals, got it. The people will complain about it, advertising the companies and streaming services more, meaning we can charge more per ad space. More people will pay to turn off ads, meaning more profit.
