millennial here, I absolutely hate ads with such a passion that I will go very far out of my way to block ads. I’ve side loaded a YouTube alternative onto my TV to avoid ads. My parents (boomers) have no problem paying for xm radio and still being advertised to!
I realize that i always hated ads with a passion. It has probably a lot to do with autism, but i learned early on to cut out ads on whs tapes that i recorded, even tho, the ads back there was nothing like the nightmare we live in now. When i see an ad on youtube, that’s what i do for however long it takes to get rid of them. Same with windows. So you want me to force to look at this? How about i learn Linux instead? At this point i don’t really even know what ads are or look like, but every now and then I’m in someone’s home and the tv is on and i think: wow, that’s crazy, i could never.
Gen Z here. I haven’t seen an ad that wasn’t a billboard or of my own volition for over a year. VHS ads don’t really count though so take that as you will.
Surprisingly yes although I suspect they will phase them out real soon since you can skip ads. The only way to watch the show again will be on demand, which they put ads all over now. There are a few movie channels that offer ad free, but unless you pay through the nose the only way to avoid ads is to pirate things.

Yeah same here, my Mom will actually DVR stuff and not skip through the ads lol. WTF.
DVRs still exist?
Yes but it’s really only boomers who still have cable and use them.
Plex and Jellyfin are DVRs. They just do other things too.
