    Well stop playing gambling ads on tv every 4 seconds between drug ads. And stop allowing gambling companies to sponsor every single sporting event. Sports have just turned into an advertising agency for gambling companies.

      I am so glad that I don’t have cable or watch tv. I never see these. All my content is streamed.

        I’m sure those ads are also appearing on the ad-supported tiers of streaming platforms, unfortunately.

        There are a handful of times per year where we are streaming a live channel or watching cable TV at somebody else’s house because local_team being in the playoffs for in_season_sport.

        It’s horrifying. Downright dystopioan.
