The Internet and streaming services are fucking lazy and just insert ads every X seconds or whatever, which can often lead to an ad being played mid fucking sentence.

That is not laziness. This is a typical dark pattern, designed that way on purpose to annoy you into paying.

Youtube (without ad blockers) is the absolute worst at this, as it seems to insert mid roll ads specifically to disrupt the video.
