Is it just me or were we able to tolerate a small amount of advertising

Seems to be because so many these days expect things for free. Music and
films being the obvious example. Without realising someone somewhere has
'paid' to make them. And can only make more by recovering those costs.

So all that happens is the way you pay for them in the end is hidden in
some way.
