This comment reminds me of my own socially anxious belief that I am boring, that people don't want to hear what I have to say, etc. And I have had plenty of evidence to reinforce t…

I just started using apple tv+ again this month - the only pre-rolls I've noticed are previews for other shows/movies and the previews were skippable.
