Every time someone is like: “what? You don’t have cable you weird person you!” This is why. Got tired of paying a premium for commercials and over the years the commercial breaks got longer, and longer and longer.
Hey cable subscribers...go ahead and channel surf and take some stats on how often a commercial is playing as you iterate through each channel.
It’s ridiculous. Netflix is alright with me.
- __david__ 9y agoI'm a cable subscriber. I haven't watched an ad in nearly 20 years. DVRs solved the ad problem years and years go. (don't get me wrong—Netflix is great, too. And also torrents. Not even thinking about ads is better than fast forwarding through them).
