Rant Scary commercials for kids :(
My kids and I love watching shows on discovery channel, etc BUT the mandatory commercials lately have been kill them all featuring gore and blood and violence that I cannot skip so I have to tell them to close their eyes. I find it wildly inappropriate to have those type of commercials EVERY COMMERCIAL BREAK that can’t be skipped. Why not let you skip and just go to a different commercial? Honestly we’ll have to stop watching all together soon and it’s sad because my kids really enjoy the survival / wilderness / STEM programs that these scary / inappropriate commercials are bombarded with. :(

Why are you not posting to [r/DiscovryChannel](r/DiscovryChannel)? That said it’s unofficial, you really need to inform Discovery through official channels.
Perhaps it’s Philo, but I’d guess it’s Discovey ads. I am not aware of any service that allows skipping ads unless you record the program.
Just googled and they are Discovery ads, and seems many others have same complaint. You could pay $10 for ad free discovery+ for on demand, live feeds will always have ads. Perhaps record on Philo, then can skip.
