Haven't seen an ad in over a decade, except by accident, which is jolting. The stuff in my head is from the 90s...

I see, the damage is already done 🫣

But it seems like you stopped doing it at about the same time as me 😄 only, that I only experienced few years of 90s 🤔

Back then ads were quite nice tbh, like they'd actually put effort into it to make it catchy and funny or beautiful. And TV was worth watching. Like the discovery channel was amazing.

I remember TV only enshitificated, except in the state sponsored channels, there we had only a single ad-break in the middle of a movie and none in the night

Yea those are still the best. I like watching Arte sometimes or other public channels because there's no ads.
