I avoid those stations i know have ads, and if surprised... i'm happy to know of the hidden mute button.
Me too. I let my $$ speak for me.
Your money is the squeak of a mouse against the thunderclap of advertising money.
If they lose a couple weirdos like us but get to sell eyeballs, they'll do it.
If necessary it'll be active resistance from me.
Sadly, it doesn't always seem to exist.
In that case I reward the one that did the thing last.
For instance, when Safeway removed my ability to mute the self checkout instructions, I stopped shopping there and only went to King Soopers.
KS decided to also remove the mute option, but I’m still loyal to them because fuck Safeway for moving first on that.
Voting with your money sounds about as effective at influencing things as actual voting.
