Is it just me or were we able to tolerate a small amount of
advertising in the past but now the quantity is unacceptible .....

I don’t find that, there are still a few ads that are worth watching a
few times.

I personaly turn the tv and radio down when ads come on

I don’t watch any TV live now and so can skip the ads.

I do mute the audio when watching streamed stuff I havent managed to
record on the PVR.

and use ad blockers on the internet......

I don’t bother.

I used to wonder why if I searched for a type of car on the internet
adverts on youtube etc were targeted to me....

I see that more with stuff I have searched for on ebay etc.

sick of it all

I don’t actually mind the less obtrusive ads like on facebook.

thank god for the BBC.

I cursed the BBC when I was watching some of
the footage during the riots watched online.



They make some of the best documentaries though.

Yep, no argument there and no ads when you don’t
watch them live on one of the operations that has
bought them so you can skip the ads they add.
