Mute the entire TV and use the closed captions when watching the programs. I do this.
My home is off the grid
One of the following:
- Ignore, do nothing.
- Fast forward. An ad break is around 15 min so sometimes we start watching a program late so we can fast forward ads later.
- Change channel. Sometimes half the ad breaks are at the end of the program so by changing channel you don't lose anything lol.
"Normal people" sit all the way through ads and are having receptacles installed in their carotid arteries for Amazon to pipe petrochemical runoff directly into their blood-brain barriers.
Me? I don't own a working television, I haven't turned on a radio in years, and all of my digital devices run a FOSS operating system I installed on them with layers of ad blockers.
