And this leads to something I genuinely don't understand - because I don't see ads. I use adblocker, and don't bother with media with too many ads because there's other stuff to do. It's just too easy to switch off a show and start up a steam game or something. It's not the 90s anymore, people have so many options for things.

Idk, maybe I am wrong, but I really think there is something very broken in the ad world as a remenant from the era where google/facebook were brand new and the signal to noise ratio for advertisers was insanely high and interest rates were low. Like a bunch of this activity is either bots or kids, and the latter isn't that easy to monetize.
