Yes, this instance is definitely the wrong place to ask, but maybe I’ll be surprised.
I hate commercial ads. I consider them intolerable and violating. I’m far from alone in this perspective (see: famous Banksy quote, and subvertising + related cultures). It’s one of the rawest forms of exploitative manipulation.
So surely you can understand my confusion whenever I see people just watching ads on their phone until they finish, or even watching ads on television until their show starts again. Come on, just do something else for 4 minutes (most channels run two 4 minute segments per half hour, that why your downloaded TV episodes are 22 minutes each instead of 30)
Is there a more meaningful answer than “laziness”?
I use antenna tv, and whenever there’s a ad I use that as a time to grab a bite to eat or to use the restroom.
Thats what im missing from the on-demand 24/7 availability streamfests. Theres never a time when im forced to tend to the needs of my body so I kinda just dont.
At least when the internet was slow I’d get 5 minutes to let the video buffer
I used to be that way too, decided I was going to splurge on 2 fixed yagi’s and 1 yagi on a rotor and they are all 30 feet above my roof and I pick up around 60 some channels.
