"Now, I’m going to throw something out there that might seem kind of crazy."

You managed to write a blog post that hypes up your proposed solution to "hacking" TV...then don't even have a solution? You suggested that we get rid of commercials. That's not a solution, that's an idea everyone's had at some point.

Advertising is a multi-billion dollar industry and is an inherent facet of capitalism that can't just be "hacked" out of TV, whatever that means.

An idea everyone's had at some point but done nothing about can't be a solution?
No dude, think about what you're saying. The idea you've presented isn't a solution at all. Simply stating your desire to get rid of TV commercials without explaining how to do it is not a solution.
