I diligently mute them, I'm a freak I cannot stand them. But from the nature of many people's complaints about ads, it seems like they listen to them and want to retain the words they've said?

I ignore them. I don't really watch TV channels nowadays, both shows and ads are just background noises to me.

You will never see ads skipped through where I am. What's the issue with them?

Team mute all the way.

BTW I hate using Apple TV.

One of the following:

  • Ignore, do nothing.
  • Fast forward. An ad break is around 15 min so sometimes we start watching a program late so we can fast forward ads later.
  • Change channel. Sometimes half the ad breaks are at the end of the program so by changing channel you don't lose anything lol.

Mute the entire TV and use the closed captions when watching the programs. I do this.

"Normal people" sit all the way through ads and are having receptacles installed in their carotid arteries for Amazon to pipe petrochemical runoff directly into their blood-brain barriers.

Me? I don't own a working television, I haven't turned on a radio in years, and all of my digital devices run a FOSS operating system I installed on them with layers of ad blockers.
