Imagine a good size of the population telling you how despicable advertising has become and you are like… no, I’m gonna force you to watch them. I stopped watching TV 15 years ago mostly because of commercials, they are just so repetitive and mind bogglingly stupid… People flocked to streaming services at least in part because LOUD REPETITIVE commercials every ten minutes is a sickening way to watch anything, and instead of idk figuring out a solution to that, they are like… nah bitch, you need some more ads.
Have you seen any commercials recently? They are something else. Either the most generic basic standard commercial or wtf did I just watch. There’s no in-between lol. I genuinely thought a couple were in the movie I was watching because it was about a bad advertising company lol
I have, fam still has cable and some sneak past my ad blockers occasionally. They are increasingly dumb and increasingly repetitive, there’s no bottoming out how stupid you can make 15 seconds of someone’s life.
The last time I remember watching television must’ve been the early 2000s, and I remember watching a movie on TBS. They used to have commercial blocks every 20 minutes or so, which was a little annoying still, but at this point watching a movie was a commercial break every 5-8 minutes. It wasn’t enough to get through a single scene sometimes, which is like somebody snatching a book out of your hand to tell you about products for three minutes as you’re mid-chapter.
I started just buying DVDs instead and ended up with a great little library full of movies that I hand picked and all the special features that came with them. If the internet turns into what TV was like in those days, I’ll simply start blocking sites that run heavy with ads and only white-list websites that respect an ad-free ecosystem.

If I have to FF past the same damn ad for an ear wax pressure washer one more time I’m going to scream.
