Can I pay to get rid of ads?

I am so tired of trying to watch a program and being interrupted by ads. Is there a way to pay to get rid of them?

Re: can I pay to get ride of ads?

Prime video, Netflix, Paramount+, Max and others do have commercial-free options (or are entirely commercial free).  I think Disney+, Apple TV, and maybe Hulu fall into that category as well.  (But I don’t use those so I’m not sure.) Each channel/app sets its own rules.

Banned but back. Because why not?

You don't mention what service or services you are complaining about. Free services like Roku Channel, Pluto TV, tubi, Local Now and a zillion others are free because they have ads. That is why they are called FAST channel services (Free Ad-Supported Television). Many of the subscription services now offer ad-supported and ad-free subscriptions at different prices.

I doubt if Roku Channel and others will ever offer a paid ad-free tier.
