Oh, but they're trying soooo hard to overcome that. For example, on HGTV, they intersperse "Sneak Peak" ads for other shows on the network. They always follow a commercial break, but my TiVo's ad skip button usually skips over the 3rd party ads and puts me at the beginning of the "Sneak Peak". It's so fucking irritating. Now I have to manually fast-forward through it. Then during the shows, literally, for the entire program, not just for a minute here or there, there's an animated logo for some other show from the same network. And it gets larger every year. First it was about 1/10th of the screen. Then it was like 1/8th. Now it's up to about 1/5th of the screen. In another couple years, it will be bigger than the actual content you're trying to watch. I've taken to logging into their site (via my cable subscription), copying my cookies, then downloading the shows using yt-dlp and putting them on my AppleTV because it's less annoying than trying to watch the shows in the format they were broadcast in.
