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?

    Streaming is bringing unskippable ads and surveillance.

    Torrents bring neither and are higher quality and more user friendly.

    The internet is making things worse, not better.

    No, it’s not. Before the Internet you could only watch what was on, when it was on.

    Now you can torrent anything you want to watch, whenever you want to watch it, and in much higher quality than TV used to be. And, again, without ads, which TV has always been riddled with.

    That’s infinitely better, on multiple metrics.
