Why do we still have to sit through commercials?

If Netflix began showing ads I'd dump them.

This is how spoiled we've gotten. Newspapers are bleeding money because people like us copy links because we feel entitled to. Now we get upset because a tv station wants to advertise so they can actually make money off their shows.

Cable has always been expensive. With more options like satellite dishes and the Internet they have to try harder to make money.

It's amazing that we think a subscriber fee entitles us to free programming. If you want that experience, then pay a monthly fee for hbo. People are confusing subscriber fees with fee to keep time Warner in business. Advertising may be inconvenient.. But it is the only way networks can afford to provide you with quality programming. If you cut advertising, and hope you enjoy pbs.
