I diligently mute them, I’m a freak I cannot stand them. But from the nature of many people’s complaints about ads, it seems like they listen to them and want to retain the words they’ve said?

I have not put myself in a position to be forced to watch ads in a very long time. Even when I had normal TV service I was recording shows to a computer that would identify the commercials to automatically skip them when I watched a show. But I guess I’m not anywhere near normal in that regard.
No, I never muted them. How else are you supposed to know when the series continues?
Use a DNS adblocker on your router and mobile network. 10x easier than it sounds. I haven’t seen an ad on my screen that I didn’t want in years.
record everything. skip the commercials.
the need for having them in an ad supported environment is understood. but it’s long since gotten out of hand as to how many there are. 8-10 minutes per hour when i was a kid to 20-22+ per hour now.
Mute the entire TV and use the closed captions when watching the programs.
I avoid ads religiously but when I can’t avoid them I mute and look away
You’re not a freak, they’re something that you don’t wanna pay attention to but they’re literally made to grab your attention, so it drives you crazy. Nothing wrong with muting them
Commercial breaks wouldn’t drive me so crazy if every third ad wasn’t for a medication with legitimately gruesome side effects
My wife normally mutes them, but I generally don’t care enough to pick up the remote and push the mute button. I just tune them out and use it as a chance to grab a snack or go to the bathroom, or just check stuff on my phone.
I don’t watch shit with adds lol. I just recently learned that in the US Netflix, Amazon Prime and the such offer paid subscriptions that still show adds. Like what the actual fuck? Just pirate at that point, the bad sites have an equal share of adds and the good ones have none, it’s a much better experience.
i have not owned a television since I was a child and came to develop my quirky ad-reviling character trait
Ads?
When I was a kid my father would always mute the ads, which was annoying to me because the images still demanded my attention and it was frustrating not knowing what they said. Now I don’t watch TV and know how to use adblockers so it’s a mute point.
Ha. Mute point
A mute point or a moot point? You have (accidentally?) made a language pun there.
I have a TV but don’t have cable, completely replaced normal TV with yt, Netflix, and anime. I use brave browser so I don’t get ads
Ads? Hmm. No, now that you mention it. I must be doing it wrong, because I never see ads.
