I try to remind myself that. Cable TV costs a lot more, and advertisements take up roughly 30% of the air time.I mean… in fairness regular cable TV is something we pay for and yet we have to watch ads. And Netflix costs FAR less than regular cable.
That’s interesting. I did not know that. There’s always money to be made with selling ad space. They’ll find a way to cram as much in as they feel they can get away with before people get angry.When cable TV first came out, one of the selling points was that it was ad-free. Because we were paying for the service, they didn’t have to find it with advertising. Somewhere along the way, they realized that they could get away with charging outrageous monthly fees and make money from advertising.
I watched an eleven minute video a couple days ago and it had three separate add blocks in it…Yeah, I think that’s why we pay for it. It was bad enough when YouTube started using ads.
