i feel like TV ads get a bad rap sometimes. you dont have to actually watch them, they provide a natural pause in the action to go get a snack, go to the bathroom, do something else, rather than sitting there for 12 hours straight "consuming content"

But when they are in the middle of a film, they often make the film twice as long, and films these days are already awfully long. They can also give you a heart attack when they are thrice as loud as the film, and often start after there was a silence in the film.

There's a weird phenomenon I've started noticing when watching streaming shows where I keep thinking a commercial break would be nice. Even on shows built for streaming.

It's not that I want the ads so much as I want a short break from consuming the content.
