So why are people OK with ads on the 360/One dashboard?

Wow... I never seen a paid things have ads on the home screen before... Cause I mean, you paid for them, I would expect the home screen to be filled with like screenshots of already owned games or picture gallary and etc, not ads... Specially if you pay for gold... Just man, that company lolll! First they popularize paid online and now this, come on MS. I wish people would do something, next thing you know there will be ads on playstation (if there aren't already cause I dont have a ps4 so idk) and then Nintendo after... T_T

Least its not annoying but the idea that they can get away with it actually bothers be to a degree cause imo, it doesn't really show respect to the consumers that pay for their services

Have you ever paid for cable channels? Bus ticket? Soccer ticket? Don't you pay for those services and still find ads there that are more intrusive than Xbox's?

The only people complaining about this are people that don't own a Xbox or because they were offered one and still don't like it.

i mean, does it degrade game experience? No.

Does it clog the dashboard? No, it's very intuitive and very easy to find items.

Have you seen the pictures I linked? It's very intrusive, compared to the other consoles.

And cable channels are a horrible example, since you pay for the cable itself, not the channels. CBS/ABC/NBC/Fox/whatever don't directly get the money you pay to Comcast/TW/whoever, they get money through ad revenue, that's their primary way of making money.

And bus/soccer tickets have nothing to with with electronics, at all. If my phone screen was 3/4 ads when I turned it on, I would be pissed. Same if it happened to my desktop.
