[Mgs] Reality TV

[Rick Lindsay]

Sadly, we're used to adverts on TV. Even our public television now has advertisements, if restricted to before and after proper content. Any time I watch live TV, I use the adverts as toilet breaks. :-P That said, we rarely watch anything live any more. 

Over here the old networks have a new trick to entice the millenials to watch live. They include interactive online content during the shows that isn't available if watching recorded. And of course, no self respecting millenial can resist playing with his smart-device, even when watching a TV show!

Hey, a man after my own heart!  If we are watching live I'd rather stare at 
the walls when the ads come on, even though there is no paint drying there.

But on the internet I just ignore it, like junk email - as long as they are 
static.  However I occasionally get web pages with embedded video hidden 
somewhere on the page, and I refuse to spend the time to search for it and 
stop it, so just turn the sound off.    I can stand five seconds of an ad on 
the occasional YouTube as I can watch the count-down.  But recently someone 
sent me one with fifteen seconds of ad and that just got binned.

- I only look at programs saved on
my PVR and I buy nothing that is advertised -
even if I want it !!
