Wish I still had a link to the article. It was about things that people think are worse versus things that ARE worse compared to old days.

TV was high on the list for actually worse. For MUCH more money we now get
1. More commercial time than ever
2. Less real choices in quality shows (most good movies even old etc are now pay only)
3. More social messaging
4. General drop in quality of shows

Especially # 1 angers me. The whole idea of pay TV back in the 80s was to decrease commercials.😡

“TV” of course being an all inclusive term

The ads I get on television are so Black it is like living in Africa. They are usually shown with expensive cars or houses, and working on investments.

People demanded choice. Well everyone’s got it. I’m still stumped by thinking that cutting the cord was going to be a long term financial advantage. The cable companies will eventually make that money back by having internet cost 200 bucks a month. It’s coming.

These pharmaceutical commercials posing as Broadway sing alongs are driving me crazy. All the singing, dancing, jiggling and giggling has got to go. I’ve never seen that happen in real life.
