I diligently mute them, I’m a freak I cannot stand them. But from the nature of many people’s complaints about ads, it seems like they listen to them and want to retain the words they’ve said?
I mute ads when I can’t ship them and I’m not walking away to get something. They’re so loud. 🔇
Mute ads in live sports. Absolutely.
Avoid ads in all other formats.
I recently tried to watch sports. It was fun but disgusting. The biggest racket I’ve ever seen. $80/month to watch Baseball?! $17,000 for World Series tickets?!
I always thought not wanting to watch sports was a choice. Apparently you can only watch sports if you’re a fucking millionaire.
Ads?
I have a TV but don’t have cable, completely replaced normal TV with yt, Netflix, and anime. I use brave browser so I don’t get ads
I stopped watching TV some 15 years ago or smth.
Lol, the fuck is an ad???
I either pay for no ads, or sail the high seas
Fucks ads
I always mute and go off to do something else (meaning, I’m not watching, either). One of my worst hells was when I had to take care of my MIL for 2 months last year and while she watches YouTube non-stop, she does it with all the ads. I hadn’t realized how bad the ads there actually are these days. I almost didn’t make it.
One of the following:
- Ignore, do nothing.
- Fast forward. An ad break is around 15 min so sometimes we start watching a program late so we can fast forward ads later.
- Change channel. Sometimes half the ad breaks are at the end of the program so by changing channel you don’t lose anything lol.
I don’t watch many things that have commercials. Only if I really want to see something and nothing else is more convenient or it’s just for background noise while working on a project.
But since so many streaming sites let the ads be super loud compared to the content, yes, I usually mute it a couple of seconds ahead of time to avoid the jump scare.
Oh yea, I mute that shit before they start.
I stream everything and pay for ad free services. I hate ads.
You’re in good company here.
I expect most people who decide to watch cable or a comparable streaming service would watch ads with the volume on. A lot of people grew up with cable and constant ads and don’t see a problem with it.
I have no idea what normal people do, but I avoid ads at all costs. Sometimes I pay premium, sometimes I just don’t watch.
No, I never muted them. How else are you supposed to know when the series continues?
I mute and change channels. Bout half of them have the same ads on at the same time though
