Ads Within Ads

I no longer watch video on MLB.com.

Why? Because of the advertising.

As a consumer, I resent being sold to twice. I'm already a customer of Major League Baseball. Their websites are:

1. 1. a service to me, to keep me apprised of goings-on with their product (baseball), and
2. 2. an opportunity to further sell their product to me.

In other words, their sites are already commercial.

Being hit with further advertising is redundant, and perhaps a touch rude. It's essentially having to watch an ad within an ad.

And I'm disinclined to do that. Especially when plenty of other online venues allow me to watch essentially the same videos — in better quality, no less — with no commercials.
