Go to advertising supported television?
Have you ever tried to watch Amercan Television?
There is almost no content to it anymore. Just advertising.
And even within the content, there is "product placement".
It's gotten to the point that the advertising is so prominent that I will walk away from
the television to do some ship modeling. Then, ideally, I would return to continue watching the show.
However, I so enjoy ship modeling, that I typically find that I will miss 10 minutes of show and
return just in time to see more advertising. I will usually shut off the television and just build models.
The other awful condition of American Television, is that upon return from commercial break, there
will be a full minute of "review" of what just happened before the advertisments...
And News programs,... might as well call them "Drug advertisments".
For every two minutes of news, there will be at least five minutes of prescription advertising.
...
Do you love your partner take drugs... Can't sleep? Take drugs... Upset stomach?
Don't change your diet ... Take Drugs... Want to stop smoking? There's a drug for that...
Are you depressed? Drug for that too. Oh, and Ask your doctor about eye drops?
Do you suffer dry mouth? Don't drink water, we have chemicals for solve dry mouth...
Just not worth turning on the television at all any more in United States.
