Why would anyone PAY for a streaming service (Peacock) if THERE ARE COMMERCIALS anyway ??

A long time ago, television was free and came in over the air. But they had commercials so that TV stations could make a profit.

Then they invented Cable TV. You had to pay a monthly fee -- but there were no commercials!!

Then they put commercials on Cable TV.

Then they invented streaming services that you had to pay for on top of the Cable fees you were already paying. And they had commercials.

Life is now a series of subscriptions and rentals. You will own nothing. And you will be happy. And there will be commercials.

It used to be about two to three minutes of commercials per hour. Now it is 20 minutes per hour.

I watch almost nothing including these games. I read about it here and sometimes watch some video clips. I’ve been here on FR for almost 25 years now and it has strongly influenced how I view all this viewing.

Reminds me of the property tax scam governments stick up with.

An endless sales tax.....
