    Why would anyone put up with the attack that is advertising? If it requires you to watch ads, it’s not worth it. You wouldn’t sit through a free movie if it meant a stranger showing up every few minutes and offering to let you rim them, (it’s not that no one wants what their offering, it’s that they don’t care whether you’re interested or not. They’re still going to show you their asshole) why would you allow a similar violation of your mind?

      I’m, that’s how over the air broadcasting is funded. You watch commercials. It’s been this way since television started.

      How old are you? The reason I ask is because it was very common to watch movies with ads via free-to-air TV in the 90s, at least in families that didn’t have cable TV. Not all families could afford to buy more and more movies on VHS.

      a free movie

      That’s the point. The movie isn’t free. You pay for the admission by rimming that guy. If you don’t want to do that, go to a different cinema and pay with money.

      Similar violation? How in the actual fuck is watching a few ads in anyway whatsoever even close to what you described?

      Why would anyone put up with the attack that is advertising?

      It’s quite simple because not think the exact way you do and have the same priorities.
