I hate seeing the same commercials over and over. I mute the sound every time and now that pluto shows how many commercials the viewer can expect (thanks for that, pluto) I can now leave for the five to ten minutes it takes before returning. The number of commercials greatly increases the run time for movies and pluto heavily edits the movies, leaving out a lot, so they can add even more commercials. I'm watching pluto movies and shows far less now. I prefer, by a large margin, Tubi.

I love Pluto! I have been paying for cable TV for decades because I'm a TV addict and I didn't think I could survive without 150 channels. But over the years my cable bill has gone up up up, there are so many commercials I forget what I was watching, and most of the time I checked every channel I had and found absolutely nothing of interest. With Pluto, not only is it free but the movies are not 'edited for content and to run in the time allotted.' Nothing is bleeped out or cut out, the movies are shown in their original state. I always find something to watch; classic TV shows are my favorite. There's a wide variety of decent movies, good documentaries, and the ads are minimal. Wasaaay less than with cable, which I was paying for. Canceled cable months ago and don't miss it one bit. To be fair, I do pay for Hulu, but with free Pluto and small price for Hulu, we're saving $70 a month and I always have something to watch.

The stations. Always freeze up and the video and sound do not match up, happens all the time and not just at my location, happens in several locations, and loss of the video feed that goes to a screen that just shows Pluto with some sicadelick screen. But it's free

Repeat ads
January 30, 2020

Watching back to back and endless commercials about the Hardrock cafe drives me frequently to pay channels. Watching the same commercials back to back and on numerous channels simultaneously is torture. At least on pay channels the commercials are varied. I will NEVER visit the Hardrock cafe solely because of those repeat, repeat, repeat ads is mental torture. Great way to break a prisoner to make him talk!

I tried this on my Laptop. Every click of the mouse triggered 6 commercials. Change channels 6 ads, change volume 6 ads Look at the program guide 6 ads click on a show for a preview 6 ads click to watch the show 6 ads. From turning on the TV to the first scene of your show you will be forced to watch 24-30 ads. 100% of the content can be found for free.

The shows, all free elsewhere, are unwatchable due to the ads. They run at least 5 times more ads than any other network.

Disgusting
April 23, 2023

Your company is obviously satanistic in the advertising that you promote! I will no longer watch any of the programming that you offer in the future I am ashamed of what is going on in our country as well as your company.

Not worth the trouble
October 19, 2023

I tried it. At first it seems okay but then it starts messing up. It freezes up, it reloads for no reason, it bounces you back to earlier in the show and when you try to advance back to where you were it makes you watch endless commercials. I will pause it to make dinner and come back to find it just started playing again all on it owns, so I have to back it up to where I paused it and again I am hit with tons of commercials. I end up taking forever to watch a short show or movie and end up being forced to watch way more commercials then I would on regular TV.

Commercials.
February 1, 2023

Makes you rewatch the commercials even if you are trying to get back to the place the night before. In other words, If i shut down to go to sleep at 30 minutes into the movie in and return the next evening, I have to rewatch the same stuff to get to the 30 minutes where i left off..
