there was an article a while ago about a hypothetical ad free internet that claimed it would be $230/year on average if that was an option and ablock didnt exist i could see myself paying for that. then again the demographic "idiots that pay for a thing that is free" would prolly be incredibly interesting to advertisers

i hope the EU passes a rule making it so that any smart TV has to have a hardware switch that turns all the "smart" poo poo off and makes it a monitor with some inputs and a DVB tuner at most

pagancow posted:Yeah but you watching the ads indirectly funds a show. Show Popularity commands a higher price. not just popularity, also it's target audience. wasnt star trek almost canceled until they found out that it was the only show that targeted the coveted single male engineer demographic?

TV advertisers over here seem to buy up the best slots for ads for "embarassing" products. like every single ad break during the most popular quiz show starts off with "ADULT FEMALE URINE LOSS????"
