There's a law of conservation of advertisement. It's not like you were going to get away from ads forever when switching from real TV. I prefer the purely interstitial (untargeted) commercials from real TV. With a DVR I can fast forward them, or always at least mute. Having Amazon/Netflix "recommend" things to me through what should be a functional unbiased system is more insidious.
- briandear 7y agoAds in the middle of the show? No way. It’s literally an interruption.
- reaperducer 7y agoIf it's for free OTA television, I'm OK with that. I don't know why people never rose up against it in cable/satellite-only channels that they pay for. /I'm OTA, Netflix, and the library. But I mostly only use Netflix for the DVD service. I'm fortunate enough to have enough going on in my life that I watch very little video.
- spidermango 7y agolol, the sheer stupidity in the mental gymnastics people will employ to back their outrageous behaviors in avoiding the "targeted ads" bogeyman
- scarejunba 7y agoIt's so out of touch with how most people think, it's genuinely fascinating to see. I wonder if it's a true belief or some sort of facade. I think I'd easily bet 3:1, $1000 that if you polled people they'd rather have targeted end-of-show ads than untargeted mid-show interstitials.
