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’m raised in an era full of ads, from tv to radio to cinema to street, and i still have absolutely no patient for ads. Streaming and sailin really helps with cutting unnecessary time spend in ads. On the other hand my nephew and niece wouldn’t mind the ads.
Oh that’s fun, you made me realize there’s potentially somewhat of a class divide when it comes to advertising exposure.
Budget TV w/built in Roku & OTA but no subscriptions = 100% ads
Paid subscriptions or the tech knowledge to block ads / sail = no ads except billboards and limited other sources
