"Boxing" and "Budget Ryan Gosling."

Look, I don't mind ads in exchange for a free service. Seriously, I don't. It's worth it. I barely notice the ads on Tubi and the Roku Channel.

But man...the same ads over and over and over on Pluto TV, multiple times during a single episode, is maddening. The Brendan whoever podcast and the B**** Bible podcast commercials are just unbearable. During a single 30 minute episode of a show, you might hear these same ads five or more times. I tolerated it for a little while, but I now avoid Pluto TV like the plague because of these 2 ads.

Yep, that was enough for me. 2 ads were enough to make me stop using a 100% free streaming platform.

Not worth being free

Yeah I know it's a free service but compared to the others it really stinks. Maybe it's better on other TV's but on a Roku tv it's horrible. The sound is ALWAYS distorted. The app crashes constantly and you can never get back to where you were before. Needless to say the selection is old and rarely updated. So many better choices out there.

Which has more running time, the show itself or the advertisements

I get too frustrated watching Pluto TV because of all the advertisements. Sometimes they think there’s more running time of advertisements than there is the actual show. Why is this? Other free channels don’t have this many. The only reason I watch it occasionally now is if there’s something That I want to watch really bad and it’s only streaming on Pluto TV. And of course, I’m always reminded why I hate this channel. Maybe if everyone who is frustrated by this write a review about it then they’ll do something about it.

30 ad breaks in a 2 hour movie

The ad frequency is nothing short of infuriating. The ads last about half as long as the actual runtime of the movie/TV show making a 2 hour movie last 3 hours. This app is horrific and I don’t suggest it to anyone.

Even as a free service it's quite…

Even as a free service it's quite terrible it freezes constantly. The content is very repetitive excessively so.the same programmes and series are on a loop so once the series has ended it goes right back to the start. For example mission impossible.matlock.sherlock Holmes scorpion bob and Margaret even the moves are the same again. It's like groundhog day

Technical issues

Technical issues. When you leave an episodes then later try to continue you can end up not only in another episode but often in another season. Make sure you know what season and episode you were watching.

I really wish you guys would give more variety on the south park channel. Please recycle threw seasons. I really enjoy watching the episodes. I am just tired that you guys consistently play the same episodes over and over. Switch threw the seasons and give us more variety. Thank you

poor site

dreadful site. Today no sound and picture won't go full screen!? They have the ads at odd times like just before the end and then comes back for the credits!? Most of the ads are for Pluto tv's own programs/channels which are not always being shown. Too many repeats. Even if after 9pm some films the bad language is censored like reservoir dogs. Then other films no censoring !? A plus point I have seen films I haven't seen before.

I HATE PLUTO TV.

I am SOOOOOOOOOOOO tired of Pluto and their 10 repeated commercials. I am tired of having to refresh the browser because it freezes. I am tired of watching Global news for the first 10 minutes, only to have it screw up and reload from the beginning with all the news clips repeated and usually ones you didn't want to watch in the first place. I used to be able to bounce between 2 shows when commercials ran but now it doesn't matter what feed I swap to, IT'S A F___King commercial! I want to snap the leg of that idiot in the commercial for tiny house nation, I want to slap that moron screaming under the dinner platter, I could choke the moron with his logic on getting a sofa half way in. I'VE MOVED SOFAS... YOU ARE WRONG! lol
I will never use any of the products in the commercials on Pluto BECAUSE I AM TIRED OF BEING DRILLED BY THEM. Salonpas? Where did that name even come from? "Livingroomnot?" Is that the direct english translation for it?
Also, as others have said, PLAY SOME OTHER SEASONS! I am tired of seeing the same damn season of shows.
Do you play anything made after 2009?
No wonder it's free.
