Regardless of the channel change, it's the same bullshit 20 minutes of ads* per hour.

I mean, if you're going to fuck with someone else's property, go all in and do it properly. Fuck this "lesser evil" shit.

*Except PBS, I guess. I assume that they're largely still "ad free" programming. Sponsored, but "ad free" that is.
