Allow timing ads as part of the subbing process

Have you considered allowing subbing teams to define appropriate time points for ads to play? You could require that these breaks be distributed throughout the video, rather than shunted to one end, of course. In this way, ads wouldn't start playing midsentence. This would greatly enhance the ad-inclusive viewing experience, without removing the incentive to buy ad-free access passes for those who can afford them.

 

Just a thought.

  • I think that ads are supposed to be as annoying as possible. That's the whole point. Mid-sentence, in the most crucial heart-fluttering or suspenseful moment etc. That's how people will buy the no-ads subscription.

  • I disagree, irmar. This level of annoyance leads to finding dramas via other sites, in my experience, and discarding Viki as a streaming source. This is a pattern I've noticed in people to whom I recommend Viki. There should be a balance; the ad-inclusive experience should be viable, in my opinion.

  • It could be simply implemented to begin on a scene change which can be easily detected
