Do normal people mute the ads or just let the television keep going?
Do normal people mute the ads or just let the television keep going?
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?
You're viewing a single thread.
You will never see ads skipped through where I am. What's the issue with them?
Ads weren't bad when it was like a minute with of commercials. Now it can be 7 minutes at a time. The worst was when I was watching Star Trek Voyager, a one hour show was actually 27 minutes of ads. Not a joke. 27 minutes of ads and 33 minutes of show. That was what broke me. I now record everything and watch it later and fast forward through the commercials.
Was it through streaming, cable, or some other digital thing?
I don't see advertising as straying away from being a sub-conversation of intellectual property. If a service emphasizes its usage, I'm either going to honor it all the way through or switch to an alternate medium.
Cable tv
And I’m sorry I just disagree. A few ads is one thing. Basically half the show is just stupid. I won’t watch that many commercials. I’ll record the show
What were you doing to end up with a program that was interrupted like that by the minute?
Not sure what you mean by, what was I doing.
But I recorded the show as a test because I was thinking man there seems to be a lot of commercials. I checked the time before I started the show. Then I watched the show and fast forwarded through the commercials. Then I checked the time after the show.
That's how I figured out how out the length of the actual show. They played a little bit of show then a block of commercials.
