I diligently mute them, I'm a freak I cannot stand them. But from the nature of many people's complaints about ads, it seems like they listen to them and want to retain the words they've said?

Was it through streaming, cable, or some other digital thing?

I don't see advertising as straying away from being a sub-conversation of intellectual property. If a service emphasizes its usage, I'm either going to honor it all the way through or switch to an alternate medium.

Cable tv

And I’m sorry I just disagree. A few ads is one thing. Basically half the show is just stupid. I won’t watch that many commercials. I’ll record the show

What were you doing to end up with a program that was interrupted like that by the minute?

Not sure what you mean by, what was I doing.

But I recorded the show as a test because I was thinking man there seems to be a lot of commercials. I checked the time before I started the show. Then I watched the show and fast forwarded through the commercials. Then I checked the time after the show.

That's how I figured out how out the length of the actual show. They played a little bit of show then a block of commercials.
