TV is 25% commercial breaks.
And sometimes they run a commercial IN THE MIDST OF A SHOW, OBSCURING THE STUFF YOU ARE TRYING TO ACTUALLY WATCH.

Step outside and there are ads on every inch of public space.

Internet? Ads everywhere.

Use Windows 10?
Windows 10 is showing you ads IN YOUR F**KING START-MENU.

Smartphone?
Undeletable, preinstalled Apps. Which also counts as ads.

And now they want to put ads in our appartments.

Oh, and btw:
While Verizon furiously denies that they are recording and evaluating what you are saying in your own appartment, the CIA can neither confirm nor deny (there was a FOIA-request) that they are hacking such devices to spy on people.
