Not that I should be surprised, but trying to watch it today and it’s just talk talk talk talk. Commercials. More talk. Overhead shots of the stadium. People walking around in the rain. Talking head. Cut away to footage of Carl Lewis removed about something. Instant replay of something they already showed. People hugging. Stadium shot. Human interest story. Commercial. Shot of Eiffel Tower. Promo for actual sports being shown on Peacock. Etc etc.

Meanwhile you can see there’s sporting events going on because they are showing them on the Jumbotron in the stadium shots. Really no excuse for this since most of this coverage is pre-recorded anyway.

    Well that validates me getting the ad free version for the month.

    I’m 100% not surprised that their streaming system is laden with ads.

      There is an ad free version? Ahhhhh!

      I used instacart+ free trial to get a free trial of peacock. Based on my trial I would never pay for this… but if it’s better when actually paid for… I still wouldn’t.
