Oh, I 100% agree.

Steaming has gotten as bad as cable was. I'm about to switch back to using Kodi.

Look, ads are how they pay the bills. We wouldn't have ads if they'd set their prices in a way that allowed them to make a profit, which is how businesses function. They are businesses, after all, not charities.

They underpriced their services, and lost money for as long as they could, hoping they'd somehow "win" the Steaming Wars. I absolutely detest having commercials on something I already pay for, but it's how it's going to be because they lost money for so long.

So a commercial is one thing, but a commercial that quizzes me to see if I paid attention is a completely different entity altogether. That's the part of the whole equation that would be too much.

I'm, that's how over the air broadcasting is funded. You watch commercials. It's been this way since television started.

Can you continue to watch your show without answering? Or are you forced to watch the commercial and answenthe question to continue?

I mean, it's fine if they're doing research on the commercials themselves, and the answers show how much or little people actually pay attention. But if you can't continue your show without the right answer, that's a problem.
