The entire selling point of cable was no signal loss and ad free... Then the point of satellite was more options and ad free. Those sneaky ads keep finding their way in.

Ads is basically free money for broadcasters. And since greed is the main motivation - the dissension seems to be rather easy for them.

But it's not greed! It's increasing share holder value! /s

Damn right! It's somebody else's greed! Totally different.

How is it even attributed to singular ads for example ? Isn’t that kinda impossible ?^^
