I prefer to record programmes so tht I can skip over all the ads. In an hour of a serial that is on TV, only 42mins is actually shown, rest are adverts....
What do you think.
Is this too extreme?

I never see ads
It's refreshing.
The few I do see I can skip because it gives me the option to.
I was at my moms recently and noticed how much longer and more frequent commercials were. I also noticed it while watching one hour long programs on Netflix and how they were like 37-38 mins!! That means a little less than half is nothing but commercials! I can only imagine the amount of commercials in a 30min show.
People always say commercials make you buy things. I have never bought anything because of a commercial.

Do you want the truth or is this a sarcastic rhetorical question?

Was just wondering why no one complains about ads on Youtube content, especially songs that they do not own the rights for.

I watch everything online and use ad blockers to stop the commercials, works like a charm. More and more often, I hear guys at work talking about this commercial, or that one, and I can gleefully go about my day knowing that not only have I not seen said commercial, but i have also managed to avoid being branded.

This is what I heard when I read the quote above

Those GORRAM advertizers should have installed adblocker in their brains
to prevent them from being marked for DEATH. They should have installed
an ad blocker in their butts. They may have difficulty sitting down but at
least they would be spared a grindingly slow death.

But lets just say your dislike of advertisers pales in comparison to him, if he could and had the power he would literally as the red queen is oft of saying "off with there head's" and he would be the one to swing the axe himself if he could.
