I'm subscribe to YouTube TV and have more than enough recording time and when I watch things, I have recorded I skip through the commercial.
Also, if I forget I few commercials might slid by and then the commercial time switches to some type of nature spot, like a hummingbird drinking nectar from a flower. |

…and now ads are using up space on our smart phones. Now THAT really upsets. Notice that talk of the villages starting to have ads embedded as well. Was it Demolition Man that showed a futuristic society where commercial jingles were the only songs played on the air??

Commercials drive me crazy - I no longer watch any broadcast channels - I have no cable TV, and no streaming services (other than Amazon, which I get with my prime account, but rarely watch). I subscribe to several you tube channels (I pay the small extra monthly fee to avoid commercials), and I have an extensive library of classic films (1930s-1960s) on DVD I’ve collected over the years (over 5000 titles), to watch. So glad I have all those DVD titles now, so I don’t have to rely on streaming services, and many of my DVD titles aren’t even available on streaming services.

Commercials are unfortunately a necessity, the cost of producing content is so much higher that most people can imagine and it gets more expensive every day. In the case of the NFL games, the gate receipts from the stadium that must be shared with the stadium owner and the visiting team fall grossly short of covering the expense of fielding the team, without advertisers and sponsors the football, and entertainment industry for that matter, would fail almost immediately.
Nothing is free, including the internet, what you get for “free” is paid for by the advertisers.

I have to admit that I do watch the Discover Card commercials with Jennifer Coolidge, Stifler's mom from American Pie, especially the one where she's going through the grocery store, I laugh every time it comes on!
We do use a DVR for the few shows we do watch. |

There were 123.4 million viewers and a 30 second commercial cost $7 million. I think that is why they had 40 minutes of commercials.
