🚨💣 BREAKING: Bernardo Silva to Real Madrid, deal set to be sealed as revealed earlier… HERE WE GO, SOON. 🇵🇹
Agreement at final stages after official proposal valid until June 2028 plus potential option.
Bernardo Silva, ready to join Real Madrid.
You pay for Amazon Prime assuming it means ad-free content as a paid, premium user. And then you discover ads interrupting your streaming content. You pay again for ad-free option. And then you find ads in web series released on MX Player playing on Prime. And then you discover that not all content is available free. You have to pay to ‘rent’ a movie. You try to watch Indian Idol on Sony LIV as a paying premium subscriber only to be interrupted by ads every 5 min. In a 15-min sports highlight section you are served 5 ads. The brand team shapes what the product experience is.
You whine about all this on social media. The brands ‘listen’ to you through a dedicated team and the bots or real humans reply with the templated ‘oh, that’s not the experience we’d like you to have. Please DM us with your contact number’. And then nothing happens. Nothing changes. Life goes on. You continue to suffer through intrusive ads.
But advertising gurus and marketing pundits say that ‘consumer is in control’. Of what exactly? We are told that marketing is now in the hands of the consumer and they set the narrative. I really don’t see how. At best, consumers can ‘block’ ads when they can (such as the skippable YouTube ad or take the ad-free Premium option over there) through ad blockers on browsers. They can choose not to follow your brand’s content on social or simply find other ways to ignore your brand’s content by not paying attention. In some cases consumer feedback has resulted in ads being tweaked or taken off air. But how is all this deemed as ‘consumer is in control’?

But where is your app on windows bhaii ?? @ZEE5India
How am i supposed to watch on laptop?? If there is no app !!
On browser it’s mentioned SD streaming means 480p ??
Truly in Big 2026 !!🤷♂️
After facing heavy criticism online, ZEE5 has once again changed its ₹799 #FIFA package from 1 device back to 3 devices. Funny how quickly things change when fans speak up.
However, they're still promoting 4K streaming even though the tournament is expected to be available only in 1080p. And why advertise a 30% Visa discount if it doesn't appear during payment?
Changing the device limit was one scam. Misleading fans with questionable promotions is another.
@ZEE5India@ZEECorporate@jagograhakjago
.@ZEE5India sold its FIFA World Cup pack for ₹799 with access on 3 devices. Then, less than 24 hours before kickoff it quietly cut that down to just 1 device.
Unite8 Sports channels cost only ₹7–13/month, World Cup will also air in Hindi on ZeeCinema, ZeeBanglaSonar, ZeeKeralam

Fun fact. For the 1966 World Cup, England debated denying visas for North Korea. FIFA responded that if any players from any teams were denied visas,they would relocate the World Cup, even at the last minute.
