IPL can be very well called the biggest festival in India and it is something that brings families together. The whole family likes to sit together and enjoy the matches.
But Jio Hotstar’s advertisements seem to ruin this experience. People have complained about the kind of ads the platform has been showing through the games.
The quantity of ads is another problem indeed, but the content is not to be ignored as well. There are condom ads being featured in the middle of the games, and these ads can almost be called erotic short films.
Fans are indeed not happy with it. This is not what they want to see while watching the games with their families. Jio Hotstar needs to understand that the audience in India is built different and it has a set of rules that every platform needs to abide by.
How to stop a certain ad @JioHotstar ? Bkl showing the Durex ad and the girl is moaning 10 times more loudly than the commentary of the match. Annoying as fuck

Even the sound gets higher every time an ad is shown, making the people even more awkward. This is something Jio Hotstar needs to put an end to soon otherwise it will suffer heavy consequences because the platform is not doing very well on other fronts too.
