    It’s not a boycott if you’re still interacting with the product. Call it what it is, a pirated sports stream.

        And I’m not saying that’s wrong, I’ve been watching sports streams for over 10 years now. But let’s not act like this is some grand social gesture, I just don’t want to pay for cable.

        How do you do this without still having to see the commercials? Those are a huge part of the enriching unfortunately…

          Lots of these streams don’t show the commercials and instead just have blank airspace when the commercials are airing. But I don’t know if that applies to the superbowl streams though since some people like to watch those commercials.

            Oh snap, so pulling from pre network… Or just very determined.

            My hatred of commercials is… Strong. Kudos to black screens of comforting non-crap.

              It’s more that they’re restreaming a stream, and the main stream doesn’t have commercials. They’re injected at commercial breaks, but aren’t a part of the main stream (because people in different regions get different commercials).

              Yep lot of sports streams I’ve seen straight up don’t have commercials and goes to dead air during breaks, since they aren’t streaming regular broadcast channels.

              Really nice ones switch to stadium cameras during breaks so showing what’s going on with the crowd and arena.

              You could also rip the stream, manually remove the commercials, and post it on torrent sites

              Be the change you want to see in the world

    Not sure I understand the boycott but still watch crowd. Sure, not watching makes viewership go down a tick, but the Superbowl is so cultural, every hallway “did you see the game” helps push those viewership numbers right back up
