Depends what country you're from. Here in Australia there are ad free channels, and ad supported channels that have a reasonable amount (for example, watching sports you might see a few ads at half time when the players are resting... but that's also when I get up to take a break from the TV myself...)
There's probably TV here that has more ads, but you don't have to watch those.
Yea makes sense. Network and cable TV in the US is and always has been about 50/50 ads to content. It’s horrendous to watch. And probably explains why some sizable number of Americans will always pay to go ad free if it’s an option.
Edit: and not be too concerned about a 10s bumper ad or two. Altho don’t get wrong they are increasingly obnoxious.
