Reply to comment by omnichronos in CGI-powered ads are coming to Prime Video and Peacock. Both companies demonstrated new ad formats for Virtual Product Placements (VPP), a post-production technique to insert a brand into a show or movie after it's been filmed. by cartoonzi

Ads are the same thing as a job. You are selling your time. 8 minutes of your time every 30 minutes to watch a network TV show for free. As opposed to 8 hours a day to take home money to buy the house/rent the apartment and pay your cable/internet so you can watch TV and sell more of your time. Gotta love modern society.

You pay for cable so you don't watch ads that are on broadcast TV. Then they double dip and start selling ads on cable. So you move to Netflix. Then Netflix decides to double dip and sell ads. Where does it stop? I say they can stick their ads up their ass. I refuse to watch ads. I'll be sailing the high seas if I'm unable to block their ads.
