Last night I wanted watch Fox News report on the 'Trump Exoneration', MAGA.

I found an online stream, and the amount of commercials was freaking ridiculous.

No wonder cable is dying.

It's pretty jarring when I catch a few minutes in hotel lobby, airport, bar, etc. Who the hell watches?

I guess it's always been that way, we're just spoiled now with all the streaming options. Going back to it is jarring, perfect way to put it.

I tried watching curse of oak island at my dads and I couldn’t handle it . I bought him a fire stick and signed into my Hulu .

I haven't watched broadcast TV since during one of the later season of 24 I clocked the commercials running longer than the scene inbetween the commercials (6 minutes of commercials for 5 minutes of show). Cable has been dying for years, in fact I constantly wonder why it's still alive... but then I visit my Dad and he's glued to CNN and I remember that there are still a lot of people for whom cable is the way you watch TV and that's all there is to it Sonny..

Those viewers will not be replaced.

I get ya ... I generally have it on in the background and my ears only perk up when something of interest comes on.

The thing that gets me is commercials. I'll see some in a bar or wherever and it blows my mind. It's like watching a weird ass show from Japan or something.

What it implies is that such commercials actually work on the people who still watch TV; sheep.

It is probably ESPN that's had some commercials which feature hot women working out on some machine. I've seen that one at the bar frequently and I approve.

Nah I'm talking about commercials in general. They're so over-the-top these days. Shit like exploding in your face as they try to get you to buy their product.

I don't know, I've been without cable for 15 years and Don't know why anyone would use it anymore.

Local news is all we watch over the air. Otherwise, it's all streaming. I hate commercials. That shit chews up about 1/3 of every hour.
