What's the catch with Tubi?

Tubi is a completely free streaming app
There is a catch, of course, but it's just that there are ads. Tubi takes breaks at 12 to 15 minute intervals for ads, and these ads pay for the content — so it's kind of like regular TV, but where you get to choose what's on.

What is the downside of Tubi?
