I'd
like to take a moment to talk about how ridiculous some advertising
has gotten.
Now
I'm okay with advertisements on web pages and videos. Ads are the
primary method that allows web content to be free for everyone. I
much prefer to watch a few ads than to have to pay for my
entertainment. I'm also okay with some content being ad free if you
pay for it.
Now
that we've gotten that statement out of the way I'm going to tell you
a story. A story about how ads made me stop watching the only network
show I kept up with. The Big Bang Theory was a good show in its early
seasons but it got a little boring and repetitive as it went on. I
still watched it as I was interested in the overarching storyline
going on, I liked the characters.
Normally
I watched the show on cbs.com as the episodes came out, thanks to
handy dandy adblock I didn't have to watch ads. But this particular
time the website was being stubborn and getting upset about ad block,
normally I could flip ad block on and off at the time right times and
get around this issue. But this time it wasn't having any of it.
Finally I decided that I would just watch the ads.
I
was expecting 3, maybe 4 ads, but nooooooo. 10 ads into the first ad
break and there was no end in sight. I was done. The show isn't that
good. No show is worth five minutes of ads every seven minutes. I'll
stick with youtube thank you very much. CBS, how about you make
content that's actually worth paying for rather than trying to screw
me with advertisement crap wrapped in the slightly scented condom
that is your TV shows. CBS you can take your ads and shove them up
your own ass. I'll stick to content producers that actually care
about pleasing their audience rather than just making a pay check out
of them.
Confidently
and Honestly,
D.

DR: Received surprise butt sex because adblock wasn't working.
