Imagine a good size of the population telling you how despicable advertising has become and you are like… no, I’m gonna force you to watch them. I stopped watching TV 15 years ago mostly because of commercials, they are just so repetitive and mind bogglingly stupid… People flocked to streaming services at least in part because LOUD REPETITIVE commercials every ten minutes is a sickening way to watch anything, and instead of idk figuring out a solution to that, they are like… nah bitch, you need some more ads.
Have you seen any commercials recently? They are something else. Either the most generic basic standard commercial or wtf did I just watch. There's no in-between lol. I genuinely thought a couple were in the movie I was watching because it was about a bad advertising company lol
I have, fam still has cable and some sneak past my ad blocking occasionally. They are increasingly dumb and increasingly repetitive, there’s no bottoming out how stupid you can make 15 seconds of someone’s life.

Reject internet, return to book. Mmm, words.
If I have to FF past the same damn ad for an ear wax pressure washer one more time I'm going to scream.
