> Ad free clients. Ad bannered websites. We should expect the same with popcorn time websites.

This is what you're not understanding: There are no "Popcorn Time websites" (except for a source to download the client)

Popcorn Time is a combined torrent-client/media player/search engine. You don't have to go to any websites (with ads or otherwise), you can click on nice pretty movie-poster images or search from within the program itself. There aren't any ads in Popcorn Time, and you don't have to leave Popcorn Time to go find media. It is one unified, seamless user experience, equivalent to the Netflix app.

I see. I did not get that from the article (it looks like I misunderstood).

Thank you for clarifying further (without more downvote nukes).

It appears that adding ads, so long at there are many competing clients, would be difficult.

I was very wrong.
