    Because it’s part of the show? What is it advertising? Usually there are some amount of credits. Certainly not ads.

      Maybe I’m misunderstanding the post. I was under the impression that they are talking about intros/ads to other shows on the same service.

      Example: I start a brand new show and I’m immediately hit with an ad for another show on the same service, before I can watch the show I actually selected.

        Are you taking about previews? Yes, those are ads. The intro to a show that is the same every episode, those aren’t ads, but are skipable.

        The intro is the opening sequence of the show. People usually watch that on the first episode, but if you’re binge-watching a show you don’t want to keep seeing the intro over and over again for each episode.
