I disagree, in that I also think it's a terrible experience to have to put up with commercials. There's thinking something is bad because it's different, and then there's thinking it's bad because it SUCKS. I grew up on commercial TV. Now I can't stand commercials, and I think HULU is absolutely insane for not having a "no commercial" tier -- and for charging you and STILL running the commercials. I would SO rather pay for my media than have commercials interrupt it. It's not a kid being uncomfortable with an unfamiliar situation; it IS annoying to have your program interrupted. And I'm not even militant about advertising -- I don't run ad blockers, and I even click on ads from time to time. What I can't forgive is people wasting my TIME. I have a finite amount of that (and why am I posting on Hacker News..? sigh...), and people showing me ads for things that I have ABSOLUTELY no interest in is nothing but a waste of my time AND their advertising money. HULU has a little button where you can tell them an ad isn't relevant to you, but it seems as if they ignore it. What a waste...
