I stopped going to the cinema for the ads , I used Netflix until they geoblocked my downloaded content and I couldn't watch it while traveling.
Now all my movies and series are free, in the resolution that I want, and they stay on my device for how long I want.
My local single-screen theaters usually have little to no pre-roll ads. Some of them even have pizza and beer at a reasonable price.
That said, I watch most movies on my Plex server, from the comfort of my couch. The experience is harrd to beat.
Here is 8€ for popcorns... And the average salary is 1400-1500 The price for the ticket is usually very low tho. Like 4-8 €
I honestly don't mind the pre-movie ads too much. Usually there's not that many, it quickly moves on to other movie trailers (which I don't mind knowing about) and then you just get the full movie without any ads whatsoever. You can always just arrive 10 minutes later and skip most of the ads anyway.
Netflix ads can kiss my ass though. Jellyfin to the rescue!
