    I don’t know how anyone watches live news with all the drug ads

        I got my parents set-top boxes with Netflix and cancelled their cable and they still mostly watch broadcast TV, with tons of ads. At this point, I dunno WTF is wrong with them – it’s as if they’re addicted to having the worst experience possible.

          They just don’t want to choose. They want the TV on to fill the silence, not to watch a show. Maybe to watch the “news”.
          Sometimes I miss the days of flow TV, you just turn it on and that’s it. No browsing the catalogue you just get whatever is on.

      I left live-TV behind years ago. I only consider and watch streaming services that offer an ad-free option. Also don’t want my kids to watch all those ads. If we teach the next generation to despise ads, maybe we can change things.
