Back in the 80's commercial breaks were only 30-120 seconds usually, now on most channels they last about 5 minutes, what happened? Do the tv stations charge less but take on more sponsors?

I just ate my whole dinner during a commercial break, it was ridiculous.

Or they'll do what print media did: make up the lost revenue from the shrinking audience by reducing the size of the product and filling it with even more ads. It's a short term fix for a long term problem, but the business climate favors short term fixes like that. It's got them in a death spiral and TV execs aren't any smarter so expect it to follow.


Yup, and throw an adblock/content blocker in there and the youtube ads go away too.

I wish iphones got adblock :(

Holy poo poo guys, we found him! The one guy who still watches TV shows in real time, as they are broadcast, from a cable television subscription. Crazy stuff.

What is it like to be you? What's a day in your life like? What kind of foods do you eat?

Edit:




Well I don't, actually, because of the commercials. Just flip the tube on when I'm eating a meal.

Can I get that ios9 on my iphon4?
