Plex Pass to skip commercials in Movies & Shows?

Hi,

I think I may have bought the wrong Plex pass. I got the monthly, thinking it would skip the commercials in the Movies & Shows tab. However, it appears I am still averaging 8-11 ads every 10-15 minutes.

Is this right? Or there another upgrade I can get to turn or diminish these ads?

Thank you.

A Plex Pass has no impact on the ads that pay for watching Plex’ free movies & shows.

Why ads? Will having a Plex Pass remove them?

Our goal is to bring a wide assortment of content—from big studios, independent producers, and more—from around the globe to you for free. In exchange, we’re asking for a bit of your time to watch some ads. Even so, you can expect a notably lower ad-to-content ratio than you’d experience with typical broadcast television.

Since ad revenue is how the studios and distributors get paid, having a Plex Pass will not remove ads or reduce their frequency.

Does having a Plex Pass change anything?

To be clear up front, having an active Plex Pass subscription does not change what content is available on the free service in any way. You don’t suddenly get access to more or newer titles.

However, users with an active Plex Pass subscription do have access to higher resolution playback from the service, when available. Specifically, Plex Pass subscribers are able to access 1080p quality streams when one is available for an item in the catalog. Non-subscribers have access to 720p quality streams, at most.
