No different than the decades of ad supported broadcast television.
Yes, that bit is terrifying
Oh im not defending it. Just saying we've been well-fed geese for a very long time now. It has just changed from cramming us full of the Tootsie Pop Owl and the Doublemint Twins with a chaser of Sears Christmas Catalog to a succotash of targeted ads.
Except I didn't pay a monthly fee for over the air TV. The Jeffersons didn't cost 4.99 a month
Yeah this part is truly infuriating
