Very unique and unpopular opinion, I know, but I hate watching ads during a show. Fuck the advertisers; I refuse to pay attention.
Rather than doom scroll, I’d love to hear what you think I should do when ads are on.
To make things challenging:
*often I’m pinned to the couch by my senior dog who I’m loathe to move unnecessarily, so getting up and doing squats is often out
*loud activities are probably out, see above
*be specific, ‘I play games on my phone’ - but what can you play casually, for 30s at a time (for example) and then happily go back to watching your show?
*use adblockers bla bla, not always possible and not in the spirit of my request.
That being said, all suggestions are great - I’m sure we’ll all get something from it. Stick it to the man!
That’s cool. How was your day otherwise?
Ad free.
Anything else doing?
Not watching ads

The way I try to approach these threads is to try and pretend there’s a bunch of people sitting around having a conversation.
If you’re familiar with the dynamic, and you emulate it here, you might enjoy yourself more. Or you could do this I suppose?
Each to their own.
If we’re in a room, and we’re comfortable enough to carry out a casual conversation, I’m gonna tease you for clinging to a bad take.
