the six year old, watching basketball: “is this live?”
“yes”
“aw, I was hoping it wasn’t so we can skip the commercials”
something interesting about raising kids whose main experience of TV is streaming is that they have absolutely no patience for ads

Humans adapt very quickly to comfort, safety, and convenience.
I’m convinced that any human who could time travel from before, say, 1900 AD to today would, inside of two weeks, be a Starbucks-ordering YouTube-addicted meme lord.

I grew up in the days of network television and local stations. Never had cable or those fancy DVR boxes (or teevo for those who remember). When we wanted to record something we had to know when it was going to be on, then program the VCR, slap a tape in and hope for the best.
I have no patience for ads whatsoever.
When they’d come on back in the day (me being the youngest) I’d be told to holler when the show cam back on.
I block every single ad network wide at home. And now I only watch content without ads via any means I can.
I hate ads with a burning fiery passion.
