It has been so long since last I saw any ad on TV/videos that when I subscribed to YouTube TV a few months ago, watching ads made me nostalgic. I told my wife that I was really enjoying these ads.

But after about a week it got really annoying. Now debating if it is worth keeping.

Lol, you're every marketer's dream! Or were, anyway.

Lol, I was actually defending ads. Like ads are perfect for taking a break to grab snacks or use restroom. Also ads provide pretty good stopping point, we are not as much binge watching TV as when on Netflix. Even when you can forward ads, it still makes you get out of the show into the real world and you realize how much TV you have been watching.

Maybe Ad industry should promote these benefits, so people will hate ads less.
