I know. And that is the reason I am not watching cable anymore.
Rather than using my mental agility to ignore something, I used it to remove that something instead. And that is much better.
Also, if I ignore something, advertiser wont get my money. So why would I ignore it if I wont be paying for this crap anyway? Just skip watching it entirely. Advertiser wont lose anything regardless of me using adblock or not.
No, but I do watch content online since it is more entertaining and informative compared to TV channels. This calls back to 1st point.
I'd rather not wait at all, but I do not have a choice I guess. Either consume ads or wait a few secs - that are my options.
So, you value your time but it is worth it to spend on watching ads? I am confused. Nobody glues you to the screen for the time video loads. You can do plethora of things during wait time that are much more valuable than watching/skipping an ad.
Did you not read the comment I replied to at first?
Dude said that he would rather wait 1 minute, even 5 minutes rather then watching a 30 second ad.
That's just fucking stupid.
I block ads all over the place when I can. But they are not always blockable on every device and every network. So you just ignore them. Simple. Rather then throwing a fit like a child and saying I would rather wait 5 minutes for a video to load with no ad then just ignoring a 30 second ad.
check nickname ;)
Then you are the idiot I was talking to.
So you learned nothing. Copy that.
