Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast”

The alternative is either:
- Don't watch the show / movie you wanted to - unacceptable sacrifice for a lot of people.
- Break the law / pirate - some people really dislike this, or else are scared, or are not technically savvy enough to know how to or that it's even an option.
- Sometimes it's too much trouble, like if you pirate a show you need to get subtitles in your own language and hope the times line up.
I agree it's unacceptable for me, but I also get why so many people just put up with it.
