    What strikes me about this:

    Tubi is ad supported.

    Sesame Street used to air on PBS, public broadcasting. The ads during my childhood were very wholesome - an announcement of a sponsor or donor. Never anything loud or crass, and many were public service announcements. Like Smokey the Bear from the National Parks, and other public interests.

    Now Sesame Street will be filled with targeted advertising, blaring across the room.

    I’m happy that people will be able to watch for free, but sad for what we’ve lost.

      Came to comment this.

      Inserting ads into legacy PBS programming is sacrilege.
