I cut the cord a couple of years ago and primarily watch Netflix or Amazon Prime video. Both contain commercial-free content which I am happy to pay for. I do watch TV (over the air) occasionally and the commercials are so pathetically mind numbing that I can't stand them. I often wonder who they are pandering to because I find them so offensive. Which brings me to my point, I won't be watching any streaming crap that contains ads or commercials. So good luck with that facebook.
At least with cable TV you can DVR to skip commercials, or stream videos without commercials. I'd rather cancel my FB account that watch a single streaming commercial. LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter are so ad happy that I find I've largely lost the desire to visit them anymore.
I think they are just foaming at the mouth trying to increase their stock price that they'll try any dumb thing. Watching commercials are becoming an artifact of history for video. They are focusing on innovating the past instead of giving people something original.
