when i was growing up, our access to television was heavily monitored/restricted. if at any point my mother heard us watching commercials she would begin screaming at us to change the channel or mute the television. sometimes she would come into the room, mute the tv and make us turn around until the commercials were over. watching commercials could get you a ban from television anywhere from a few days to several weeks.
this meant i watched less TV than even the limited amount we were allowed to, because i didn't want to deal with the real-life jump scare that was my mother. anyway, when i look at The State of Things nowadays when it comes to the constant stream of ads being forced on us, it becomes clear that, though her methods were questionable, once again my mother was right about everything.
