    Haven’t watched commercial TV for going on 15–16 years. Ads appearing in streaming services are jarring enough and feel insulting, but forget that to some people it’s normal and so actually works.

    Go ad-free for a few years and you’ll understand. Kind of like being reborn into Idiocracy quality. “What the fuck did I just watch? Who the fuck is that shit even aimed at? Someone got paid for that???”

      Yeah it’s insane watching something at someone else’s house and your immersion in a show or movie or YouTube video is just completely destroyed by an ad.
