I diligently mute them, I’m a freak I cannot stand them. But from the nature of many people’s complaints about ads, it seems like they listen to them and want to retain the words they’ve said?

I solved this problem by having not watched cable television in like ten years.
same. something like 17 years here.
Caught some TV a couple months ago at my moms place, and was horrified about the amount of ad breaks and length. I don’t know how anyone can tolerate this
Frog in the pot, man. It’s crazy what people put up with. Same with rawdogging YouTube
With a DVR you haven’t had to watch a commercial on TV/cable in over 20 years. Streaming is bringing unskippable ads and surveillance. The internet is making things worse, not better.
I don’t watch it, but I definitely second hand consume it because my parents still watch cable. I don’t really have a choice either since most every night I’m helping cook dinner while my dad watches his nightly reruns of MASH and Emergency (unless it’s something else for a change). The ads aren’t extremely unbearable because they’re aimed at middle-aged to elderly people like my dad, but I don’t care for them.
