There will be two types of ads: midroll ads and pause ads. Midroll ads play in the middle of a show, and Pause ads appear when you pause a show.

Speaking at the event, Reinhard said, “ When you compare us to our competitors, attention starts higher and ends much higher. And even more impressive, members pay as much attention to mid-roll ads as they do to the shows and movies themselves. “
