Weird Ponderings

When I was a wee lad, TV commercials were a nuisance, sure. But my father explained to me that television is free, and in return, we must put up with the occasional promotional spot, which pays for what we are watching. Okay. Fair enough. But now, decades later, we are paying for streaming services, and what do I see? Yes! Commercials! Hey! We are paying for these services. This is an example of a double whammy if I ever saw one! Look, I am a business man. I have nothing against someone making an honest buck.... however, you need to choose.... charge for the service, or give free service with commercials. You can't have your cake and eat it, too.
