While this isn't great, any form of broadcast/cable that can be controlled with a DVR makes this a non-issue, as I'm skipping commercials anyway.
When ads on TV become unskippable, or continue to get more firmly embedded in content as with Stranger Things, that's when it gets unacceptable for me.
- JohnFen 7y agoThe problem isn't the ads, it's the tracking.
- gdulli 7y agoThe tracking is happening anyway, everywhere. Maybe it sucks, but it's reality. Netflix and Amazon, not to mention the entire rest of the internet, are doing it. So if it comes to cable it doesn't differentiate streaming vs. regular TV. The ability to skip ads with a traditional DVR does differentiate them.
- JohnFen 7y ago> The tracking is happening anyway, everywhere. Absolutely true, but that not a reason to start accepting it. For me, the ability to skip ads isn't compelling.
