Unfortunately some of those free channels have almost as many commercials as broadcast tv.
I dropped Hulu after they kept increasing the number of commercials. At first it was only a couple per hour show. Then 4. Then more. I don’t want to pay for commercial TV. Why people are paying for cable at all when all the channels are commercial I don’t know.
Yeah, I do just about anything — anything — to get away from those commercials. I don’t know if it’s my age or what, but my tolerance for getting bombarded with commercials is close to zero.
I long chided those idiots who paid for satellite radio... I have now had satellite radio for the past few years and will likely never go back simply because it is commercial free.
Ads are annoying, but a small price to pay. Locally, we comment that when the digital replaced the older OTA waves, they need more channels in order to increase advertising revenue. Ads are insufferable, one after the other. MOST from our own government, the agencies and departments TPTB have created to ‘govern’ US. To pay for such, is no more than a slap in the face. Cable companies have been gouging subscribers for years. To view a free subscription and see advertisements takes a bit of the sting out of the slap.
Why don’t you pay the extra couple of bucks a month and go commercial free? That’s what I did.
