The commercials are a problem but not the main one. The main one is the durned annoying animations that intrude on the bottom of the screen during the shows. These usually advertise other shows and have gotten more blatant and intrusive in the last year. Why aggravate myself?

Upwards of 20 years ago, I was watching something on FX. Hank Hill drives his mower across the bottom of the screen, noisily, iirc,

So, I stopped watching both FX and King of the Hill.

Didn't really miss either, especially FX. Had just bought a Palm and got the split timer app. I timed the breaks in "Kiss of the Dragon". 4 mins and change movie, 5 mins and change commercials, so the noisy ad trampling the show/movie was the last straw.
