      I grew up with ads on cable, but I think it was back in the digg days someone said cable started that way too. You paid for cable for shows. Then the ads came. Streaming is almost exactly like cable now, except with the on demand part and how it’s over IP.

      I’m so tired of ads everywhere. I ad block at so many avenues. How do we crack an iPad to get rid of app ads? Is that possible?

        It is also possible to block ads using some VPNs. But in general, if you want the freedom to modify things, you should not be using Apple products.

          I typically don’t but I have an iPad from being in aviation and gave it to my little one. The app ForeFlight isn’t available on Android. They have a Garmin one but it just isn’t the same.

            I use this on iOS and iPadOS. It isn’t perfect and needs tinkering and tweaking. But it does block ads systemwide in most apps (banner ads, not those pesky in game ads usually). And you can customise it by seeing what ad servers were called, and add them to the block list.
