You owe it to yourself as a consumer to protect yourself from ads.

I even used to mute TV commercials and rip double-sided full page ads out of magazines, back when I was exposed to those things.

Wonder what TC did when there was no internet and only tv ads.

Maybe not alive for that yet?

Do ads even work? Like how many of you have bought something you randomly saw on an ad?

They definitely work. The fact you don't think they do means they're even more effective

Either switch to another channel or get up to go to the kitchen pre-DVR, or fast forward through them post-DVR.

And i think it's okay what TC is doing, that's all him. Just don't look down on people willing to pay for the convenience of no ad experience.

I also use Brave to browse on my phone because its easy and i just downloaded the app and it still works.
But i also pay for Youtube premium for the convenience of signing in and working for TV, phone, computer. Im also not that hard on money i can splurge on it since i use youtube a lot anyway

1 time it worked, but like 10,000,000 times it hasn't work. I don't even remember what that 1 time was, but I know it happened >_>

I try to maintain a policy of not telling other people how to spend their money, so you wont catch me insulting someone for using a premium service.

It's my bandwidth, if companies want to use part of it to show me ads they can pay for part of my internet bill.

Ofc they do.

It's not about just going up and just impulse buy some bullshit.

But do make the decision to buy something, this something has to be in your mind somehow.

Last time on CE, I saw a topic about Skittles, and I was like "Oh yeah, have not had Skittles in a long time."

After reading my posting, most people will probably ignore it, but some may get the same reaction as I did.

I go out of my way to never buy anything advertised on the internet or in-between a video or show

I used vance until it got cancelled and started paying for premium. It's better than vanced in some ways because you can cast to the tv without ads still.
