Many posts on
Breitbart feature a top-loaded 30-second auto-playing video commercial. But you can now make that annoyance go away by paying into a service called SkipIt, which charges ten cents a pop to turn the commercials off. Music streaming services such as Spotify and many web apps have long offered ad-free upgrades for a fee, but I don't think I've ever seen this on an opinion site. SkipIt is run by SpotXchange, which now pays
Breitbart for the ads that are watched
and the ones that aren't.
