...what ? TV was always ass, imagine WAITING for show to start and planning your day around it just to get ads every 15 minutes.

I feel back in the day you still saw ads that were kind of creative and there was a certain glamour around being the one brand with the best ads.

Current ones are outright unpleasant, the "make the viewer feel bad about something" kind or directly spam folder level of scammy. Nobody takes pride anymore on their advertising.
