But now, it’s the same 4 or 5 commercials throughout a show. I know advertising isn’t what it used to be, but surely just playing the same 4 ads 5 times during a two hour block can’t be the best system.

And I honestly used to not mind the ad breaks in shows. It gave time to use the bathroom, grab a drink, or expand a cliffhanger in a show. And I might even see a movie trailer and get interested in seeing it.

But now, by the end of a show (I’m watching AEW Dynamite currently) I can practically quote every commercial. Surely there has to be a better way…

Thoughts?
