the six year old, watching basketball: "is this live?"
"yes"
"aw, I was hoping it wasn't so we can skip the commercials"
something interesting about raising kids whose main experience of TV is streaming is that they have absolutely no patience for ads

Humans adapt very quickly to comfort, safety, and convenience.
I'm convinced that any human who could time travel from before, say, 1900 AD to today would, inside of two weeks, be a Starbucks-ordering YouTube-addicted meme lord.

There's more ads now than back in the day too. Used to be like one ad break per show. Now it seems like it's 50% show 50% ads with banner ads on the bottom of the screen and pop up shit and all kinds of garbage. I can't stand watching actual TV.
My time it's like 20min shows, 10min ads. At least shows back then make use of this structure, these day ads on stream/youtube just shows up like spanish inquisition.
