All the people watch commercials, but it wouldn’t surprise me if there was a correlation between the kind of person that can watch stupid reality shows for hours on end and the kind of person who watches those ads and it actually translates into them spending money on the things in the ads.
Probably so. I don’t know if home shopping channels are still on the air, but there were people who watched those religiously. I remember when TV switched over to digital broadcast, there was a big to-do in the town I lived in because a bunch of people watched a low-power broadcast station that broadcast a home shopping channel 24/7 and they wouldn’t be able to watch it anymore since it couldn’t afford the upgrade.
Cable shifted to low information viewers across the board decades ago. Dumb people watch commercials I guess.
They’re making people watch commercials on the streaming services now too. There’s really only one solution left, matey.
No sir, I am a good Christian Man, raised right.
Whats my favorite Veggie Tales song, you ask?

My popup blocker works on streaming so no commercials there.
That doesn’t stop, for example, Amazon showing you commercials for other Prime shows before showing you what you want to watch.
That was one of the reasons why I was watching pirated versions of the Amazon shows even when I was paying for prime.
There’s a skip button and at least it’s for their own content. If they remove the skip button and start advertising unrelated products then fuck em
Paramount+ doesn’t have a skip button, but I already gave them up.
Worse, Hulu advertises the fucking show I’m currently watching.
Your popup blocker?! What year is this, 1999?
This chair be high, says I!
