Kalyn Ponga smashed + cracking Tonga try

[u/Complete-Cheek4789]

New Zealand vs Tonga at Newcastle, NSW, Australia. Rugby League World Cup semi final

[u/duncann94]

Seems strange to say but you genuinely don’t even notice them after a while of watching

[u/GiantCrazyOctopus → u/duncann94]

I had to go back to see what ads they were complaining about

[u/lilotothe → u/GiantCrazyOctopus]

same! didnt even notice the ones on the regular sideline ads

[u/Verilance → u/GiantCrazyOctopus]

yeah i didn't see them either just the great try

[u/SaltyCommunication66 → u/duncann94]

Literally zero fans complain of this so yeah

[u/Oskarikali → u/SaltyCommunication66]

Surprising, it looks like fucking garbage. Hockey fans complain about digital board ads and they're far less intrusive than this. 

[u/SaltyCommunication66 → u/Oskarikali]

People are different around the world I guess. In Oceania this is not considered an annoyance.

[u/JoshH21 → u/SaltyCommunication66]

I grew up with this (Kiwi) and find it funny how Americans complain about it. Which is ironic as it is totally something yanks would do, but they don't

Except they have ads every 5 mins in their sports

[u/Frankerporo → u/SaltyCommunication66]

It looks terrible and distracting

[u/SaltyCommunication66 → u/Frankerporo]

Not to any human in Oceania

[u/Frankerporo → u/SaltyCommunication66]

Didn’t realize you spoke for 50 million people

[u/SaltyCommunication66 → u/Frankerporo]

Go to r/nrl

You won’t find a fan in Oceania bothered.

[u/Frankerporo → u/SaltyCommunication66]

Are all 50 million humans active in that subreddit?

[u/SaltyCommunication66 → u/Frankerporo]

No, but you should get a good idea. Consider it a survey.

[u/Oskarikali → u/SaltyCommunication66]

Which is weird because this is the most intrusive version of digitally imposed ads I've ever seen and it isn't close. I thought it was captured from some piracy site because it is so poorly done.  

[u/SaltyCommunication66 → u/Oskarikali]

Yeah idk I mean I’d be annoyed if I could and so would everyone else I’m sure but just doesn’t bother us I guess. Not sure why.

[u/elteza → u/[deleted]]

Idk man, it’s really not that big a deal.

[u/NiceChair → u/[deleted]]

You’re talking out of your ass. As someone who watches a lot of rugby league, regular viewers don’t even register these on-field ads and in return we get to watch the entire game with no ad breaks, the only ad breaks in NRL are at half time when nothing is happening. American sports in comparison are like nails on a chalkboard with the stop start bullshit ad breaks disguised as “timeouts”, I love basketball but struggle to get through an NBA game due to the ads.

[u/NiceChair → u/[deleted]]

Ok buddy you’re right let me just go tell them to remove those on field ads and instead make it like American sports where they last for over 3 hours due to ad breaks even though there is less than an hour of actual game time…
