Not the people watching it live without ad blockers See the popularity of shows like mr robot and silicon valley. If bbt was accurate it would be vastly less popular.

It's the funny thing about the whole situation, if the people bitching about it were as smart as they thought they were. They wouldn't be bitching about it in the first place.
