Commercials in TV+ are as bad as ads in News+, e.g. it seems I cannot open the app without getting blasted at with a Peacock commercial.

What? I’ve never seen a single commercial on an Apple TV+ show.
Something like 70% of the comments I've seen on this thread show that either:

1) The user has never owned an Apple Device in their life. 2) They are trolling super hard.

There are complaints to be had that I definitely agree with, however, I see a TON of fiction for every single legitimate complaint.

No, not an Apple employee, shareholder, etc. (I am broke and dependent on my wife because I am disabled lol)

I've been an Apple One subscriber for over three years now. For the past few months, as soon as you open the TV+ app, a Peacock ad starts playing really loud.
I’m wondering what platform you are using TV+ on.
An Apple TV.
So weird I don’t have anything like that on mine
Are you not able to think of a simple concept of "maybe the ads are regional" and you need to immediately jump to dumb conspiracy theories?
They've had a commercial (trailer) before every show / movie we've watched in the past week. We can skip them, but they are there.
You haven't seen Apple product placement in their shows?

Servant was a walking ad for iPhones and Facetime lol

It's right when you open the TV+ app.
Weird, there are none when you use the appletv device
I use an Apple TV.

Maybe it’s just me. I’ve been an Apple One subscriber for a long time now. The Peacock commercial I’m talking about plays right when I open the app, almost full screen and quite loud. It seems to be some sort of add-on offer for Apple One subscribers.

When you open which app? The appletv app on the device?
I’m not sure what you’re asking. I clearly stated that the Apple TV app has ads when I open it from my Apple TV device.
the promos for other shows are commercials
Which you can quickly skip past.
What’s your point, exactly? They are still commercials.
