Comment on Streaming Ads Are So Much Worse Than Traditional Ad Breaks | MZS | Roger Ebert
moody@lemmings.world 8 months agoWorse? Clearly you don’t remember the days when if you got home at 6:15, you would miss half of your show. Or the days where the only option if you wanted a specific channel was to subscribe to an expensive bundle that included 8 other channels you didn’t want.
Advertising has gotten so much worse, but everything being on-demand is miles better than what we used to have.

Ah, kids and their fancy new VCRs. Back in my day you had to be on time and make the kids wiggle the rabbit ears just right.
