Greed and cable

Fast and Loud, relaxing after work Monday nights. I just can’t. The show is decent, and I don’t switch to another channel. I turn it off. The commercials are incessant. The break that happens at :50 after the hour is the hardest kick in the gut. This is like a double break, where they come back to the show for a minute in between.

No show is worth it anymore. Life is too precious. I never got a time share sold to me, because I would never agree to being sold for an hour. People are paying to watch commercials. It’s not that a few commercials are too much to ask, it’s just greed.

Cable networks should raise the rate, and lower the amount. That’s basic supply and demand. I will sit through the show and the breaks without abuse.

How fair is this solution? They get to keep being greedy, the sponsors actually get attention, the viewer is happy, and you don’t kill the medium. Something happened and even with a great compromise, it’s hard wasting hour portions of my life with nothing to show for it.

This must be my own greed, for my valuable time.
