I enjoyed watching favorite -old- movies not chopped-up to insert 2 or 3 of 5 minutes of commercials. I quit cable-TV and got my views where I could.
There was a time when people were asked to choose between TV adverts and Pay-TV with no adverts. Those who went for Pay-TV got a few years of respite. Then, as always happens, they got screwed over. Don't believe that line for a second. They'll just bide their time, and next thing you know, you'll be watching ads-a-plenty again.
Yeah man - the world changes. The pendulum swings. It’s quite the ride eh!?
