I'm sick and tired of ten minutes worth of commercials. By the time the show is ready to return... I've forgotten what I was viewing in the first place. Then there's the problem with the volume boost these scoundrels employ when they run a string of 5 to 10 commercials. (They know you've gone away to the regrigerator... LOL!)
The promise of TV has been sidetracked by greed and corruption and our mainstream media giants only give us the news they want us to have.
It ain't much better up here in Canada...TV was actually better 40 years ago when we only had two channels...at least there wasn't as much advertising.
I had my cable service discontinued about 10 years ago...I don't watch TV anymore...and, after a little weaning off period, I really don't miss any of it.
Every time I'm traveling, the hotel TV has basically the same quality of content I used to waste my time on years ago.
TV is a big time-waster, and I'd rather fill up my time
using the PC and
playing music.
At least there is
feedback from both those activities...
there is none from a TV.
If you want news, the computer does a better job.
TV is designed to
generate money for the owners...entertaining the viewer is secondary.
