What has changed on Channel 4's 4OD app in the last few days?

I don't know if something has changed on Channel 4's 4OD app in the last few days but I've been watching the X-Files from Series 1 and have just got to Series 5 whereupon the advert breaks have gone from 'start of episode only' to 'mad American excessiveness'.
Have I got amnesia, a broken TV that's suddenly corrected itself in favour of Channel 4 shareholders or did they actually go from start/end adverts to about 5 advert slots per episode but only in the last week?! 🤔 😬ðŸ˜

Definitely worth the £4 a month to go ad-free.

That's their plan! The adverts that previously weren't playing but have now appeared are annoying, but the adverts they have selected are the most annoying of all! 😂

I think they've updated it because it's asking me to disable adblock befre I can watch stuff now. cest la vie

This would explain it, it's extremely annoying now but I guess I was previously lucky for some reason!

I was under the impression that ITVX, Channel 4, My5 and U all gave you adverts at the same places you'd get them on TV. If you weren't getting them before, consider yourself lucky.

I think I was lucky until this week... 🤔

As the leading UK "ask" subreddit, we welcome questions from all users and countries; sometimes people who ask questions might not appreciate or understand the nuance of British life or culture, and as a result some questions can come across in a different way than intended.
We understand that when faced with these questions, our users may take the opportunity to demonstrate their wit, dry humour, and sarcasm - unfortunately, this also tends to go over the heads of misunderstood question-askers and can make our subreddit seem hostile to users from other countries who are often just curious about our land.
Please can you help prevent our subreddit from becoming an Anti-American echo chamber?
