Re: No ads No programs
The advertisers seem to have forgotten that there's an oversaturation point. If there are too many ads, people will start finding ways to skip them or simply give up and not watch anything at all (maybe this is for the overall good).
I don't pay quite as much, but I have several friends who pay $90 a month for programming. That's over $1000 per year!!! For that kind of money I can buy the TV series on DVD for every show I watch. Plus several dozen movies. And still save hundreds of dollars.
But wait! There's more! Buy our DVD now and we'll throw in 10 video ads, FREE!
But that's not all ..... these ads are so good that we'll disallow you to skip them
on a standard DVD player. And that's not all! Absolutely free of charge we'll
include traditional PAPER-based advertising inside the DVD box! Hurry, you don't
want to miss this once in a lifetime opportunity. Operators are standing by.
So now I don't even buy that many DVD's anymore. I'll wait until I can rent them as old releases on two-for-one days at the grocery store. 49 cents a pop that way. Keep 'em for a week.
If they offer me something I want, in the way I want it, for a reasonable price ... I'll buy it. But once they notice that I'm buying it and then start to add more unwanted junk ... then I'll stop buying it. If I stop buying it this only hurts them. Plenty of other things for me to do with my spare time. So far I haven't run into a single ad while hiking, flying my kite, or looking through my telescope. | |
