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!

    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.
