Today there were advertisements on Chess.com TV.  Is this the way of the future?  What concerns me even more is the disappearance of the library of previous broadcasts.  Will these broadcasts be restored?

yeah was also about to watch something and there's pretty much no videos avaliable

Yes there was (adverts). The video did not stream as well as usual & although this program was recommended:

It is very invasive AND they want you to pay/donate for it !

I specifically understood if paying for one of the premium-memberships you would not be subject to advertising of this type on the site.

I am a little upset to see the video library wiped out.  What's going on?  That's a big reason why I'm a diamond member.

The video library is back, hurray!!!!  Thanks to who ever did it.
