Seriously launched the app (by accident today) and what is this? They’re trying to play the victim from the big bad ad blockers saying all they’re doing is trying to show an ad at the beginning of video, and then I see all of this crap.

This was after a non-skippable ad at the beginning followed by a totally real “survey” that it wanted me to fill out, one interruption so far in the content, and now three ads on the screen. That’s 45% of the screen dedicated to ads. Freaking ridiculous. “But please turn off your ad blocker”.

    It’s so bad, I can’t figure out who’s still watching the show at this point. But they are, so there must be enough viewers to make it worthwhile for Fox, so maybe I’m the one who is wrong?

    No, no. It must be the kids.

    (That’s a line from an older episode for anyone not a fan of the show)

        Pretty sure it was because of the ‘trying to be politically correct’ comment.

        EDIT: The comment originally said what I quoted, which is now changed to inoffensive. Then the replies to me were deleted.

        it’s eroding the satirical stereotypes that every character is supposed to be.

        Bets on this being about Hank Azaria no longer voicing Apu?
