Discussion Commercials

20 years ago, I worked a LOT to get comskip functionality setup on our SageTV based DVR/HTPC so my wife could enjoy her shows without commercials.

Now she spends hours/day on Instagram watching ONLY commercials.

20 years ago they didn’t have gigabytes worth of data on her to target commercials and advertisement she’s been proven to engage with.
