I still get a handful of semi premium channels without commercials, and I don't even pay extra for the HBO tier. Cable TV commercials are now the best option we have though, because they can be trivially skipped. A DVR still gives me full control of the video stream. If you time shift you never have to see an unskippable commercial on cable. Which is just another way of saying that tech companies brought us enshittification faster and more thoroughly than what they supplanted.
