Have you been using an antenna the past 40 years?
Closer to 20 years now.

Everyone I know has paid for cable/satellite/or a streaming package the past 40 years with commercials.
That's why they frick us, because so many people like your friends are willing to just stick their arse up in the air and ask for it. If people balked at getting charged and getting commercials, they wouldn't be able to do it.
quote:What's revisionist is that when they came out with cable in the early 80s, they told us there wouldn't be commercials because there would be a monthly fee instead. After a few years they sprung the commercials on us. They got away with it because too many American consumers are lazy and just went along with it.
This "how dare they" mantra seems confusing and revisionist.
frick ESPN and cable TV.

I was young in the 80s.
But the only channels I know without commercials were premium channels (HBO/Disney). M/TV, ESPN, CNN, etc.. all had commercials.
You aren't remembering things very well.
And if you are watching everything on an antenna, then quit your bitching about commercials. You aren't paying a thing for the programming anyway.
