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.
Have you tried listening to FM radio in a while? It's the same at it used to be but worse, somehow, after getting used to cached internet radio stations sans commercials...
I gave up on FM because of the incessant commercials 15 years ago. I tried again while on vacation, and it's definitely much worse. I don't know how anyone can manage to listen to the radio and not go insane. 25% of air time is commercials or inane talking. The music is overly compressed and every station plays the same songs. Over. And. Over.
Thankfully, one can get music without that crap easily.
TV isn't much better these days. If drug companies and law firms stopped advertising, most cable channels would
Only 25%??!!?? Where do you live. Try using the radio during any normal time commute. I was counting before I quit listening. A 30 minute drive my play two songs. Listen for an hour, and you would hear those two songs again. I did learn a lot about the laughing hyena's bathroom habits, though.
