It exists because of the income from commercials or from HD subscribers. You could have a billion viewers but if they're not watching commercials you have 0 income. Get the $25 pass if commercials annoy you so much. | ||

It's like television, only online, and you don't need to buy a cable package. Is it really? I'm pretty sure commercials don't interrupt player interviews or postgame wrap up shows as the casters/players are talking mid sentence. Law and Order doesn't cut to a commercial right in the middle of the ADAs closing argument, then come back after the verdict has been handed down. Just time it better. Accommodate the viewers. | ||

But the viewers are important because it's more eyes for the advertisers. They need money to be able to make this work. Either you can pay by watching advertisements or you can pay 25 straight up to not worry about it. Seems like fair options to me. And I may be wrong, but isn't the randomness of the ads just because of justin.tv? Does NASL have any control over that even. | ||

The girl interviewing him was really cute but it cut out before he even finished. Was it just to show the hot girl because the interview with Select was hardly an 'Interview' he barely said the NASL was like the GSL before it cut out. The interview isn't on the NASL website either. Why would they randomly show some cute girl fidgeting for 5 seconds? | ||

Having the same problems and it's fucking annoying. Also the TIMING of the commercials is why they suck. In the middle of games, in the middles of interviews, during the countdown of the games, etc. | ||

This is a perfectly legitimate concern if commercials are screwing up his settings or activating during the matches. We're not second class citizens just because we didn't pay the $25. We are allowed to have opinions. It seems like NASL needs to work closer with Justin.tv to iron out some of these commercial issues a lot of players are having. One idea is to edit in "tv timeouts" right before a match starts. Either way, it's clear they care a lot about feedback and improving the quality of the show. I'm confident that they are going to figure out a better way to implement commercials. | ||

TV timeouts mean the people who paid are getting dead air. The simple fact of the matter is the free stream is a lower quality viewing experience. That makes total sense to me. | ||

Classy. Just calm down, get a paper route and pay the $25. Or pay the $25 to get a wireless remote for your computer. Or pay the $25 on Olive Garden, realize just how delicious endless bread-sticks is and forget about how annoying the ads are. Or pay nothing, and, evidently, stay bitter and mean. Your call. Also, they know about the issue, so crying louder won't fix it. | ||

They don't want these inconveniences to occur either. The problems are trying to be solved. Props to them for being on top of their game and openly communicating with us. Respect NASL. Very professional and very quick to take action. Props, guys. I 100% agree and not only are they right on the ball they also are in continual and open communication with the community every step of the way. | ||
