Have we forgotten as well HOW MANY ads cable television had? It was like brainwashing

I was visiting my parents house a few months ago and they still have cable. I put on the TV and it was like A Clockwork Orange, every 7 minutes there's 5 minutes of ads. Legitimately horrific to try to watch anything. No wonder boomers are losing their minds
