  • You all would fucking die if you saw what TV used to be like.

    I know. And that is the reason I am not watching cable anymore.

    You just ignore the ads.

    Rather than using my mental agility to ignore something, I used it to remove that something instead. And that is much better.

    Also, if I ignore something, advertiser wont get my money. So why would I ignore it if I wont be paying for this crap anyway? Just skip watching it entirely. Advertiser wont lose anything regardless of me using adblock or not.

    You all act like you have to be glued to the screen the entire time.

    No, but I do watch content online since it is more entertaining and informative compared to TV channels. This calls back to 1st point.

    Would I wait 5 minutes instead of 30 service through an ad? No.

    I’d rather not wait at all, but I do not have a choice I guess. Either consume ads or wait a few secs - that are my options.

    Because my time is more valuable then that.

    So, you value your time but it is worth it to spend on watching ads? I am confused. Nobody glues you to the screen for the time video loads. You can do plethora of things during wait time that are much more valuable than watching/skipping an ad.









  • We do not build gaming PCs here. But imo selfhosting hardware related questions should be allowed. All about NAS, HDDs/SSDs, computers and abilities of CPUs for selhosting purposes, what OS to pick for which tasks - imo all these fit this sub.

    There is a big influx of newbies/normies lately. Many want to escape paying for expensive and useless subscriptions and are willing to host their data and tools locally. People do have these questions. No need to gatekeep selfhosting. It should be a welcoming community.
