Good point about TV. I'd happily subscribe to cable if it weren't for the fact that I'd be paying to have ads blared at me every 5 minutes.

I just DVR everything and then skip ads. I can't watch non-recorded TV anymore - not only ads are extremely long and mind-numbingly boring, they insist on showing the same ads several times during the same show! I don't know how people tolerate it.

You're still affected as the time allotment for actual content is going down. Even reruns are getting compressed
