Even half hour of news weather and sports, it comes down 15 minutes of commercials.

I heard once if you took the station breaks out of a 3 1/2 hour NFL game, we could watch the
whole game from snaps to finish in less then one hour.

Your Thoughts
The major streaming services were suffering financially and took action to boost profitability. Growing revenue from advertising was one action that they took overall, generally in 2023. If all streaming services show ads, we have few alternatives. The good ol' days of ad-free viewing on a basic subscription are over.
