Agree 100%. I stopped watching commercial TV a couple of years ago. Most of it's trash anyway. If something interesting does come on it gets canceled, so why bother.

It’s crazy to think that a whole generation or two will never embrace commercial TV and will stick to streaming. Young people physically can’t watch a show on a fixed schedule with adverts every 10 minutes compared to just picking an episode/film on streaming.

I guess companies will try and shift their ads onto streaming in the next decade.

They're pretty much starting to do that already with reduced cost ad supported subscriptions.

I (a US citizen) traveled around the world for a year. I remember the first time back in the US with a tv screaming "buy this shit!" at me.

My tolerance for our tv & radio ads has ever since been zero. It creeps me out to think of everyone out there getting willfully blasted with this tripe 24/7.
