No nuance and characters are saying the obvious stuff, because viewers are looking at another device while watching. We’re so cooked.

    I listen to podcasts, usually ones with minimal or no commercials.

    But I can’t stand TVs being used like that. Especially when they are blasting commercials. It’s so depressing.

      I 100% agree. A loud TV blasting ads all day is extremely upsetting to me, you can literally feel companies groveling and begging for your money; it’s disgusting. “Hurry in!” “These deals won’t last!” then of course the fucking low-level humor that makes you feel even more stupid. I honestly loathe being anywhere near a TV tuned into stations like that.
