To an increasing degree, ads drive me away from programs. For example, I haven't watched the NFL hardly at all for probably 20 years because it is nothing but one big commercial trap, and when the game is going on the analyst blabs on and on and won't shut up and let me enjoy the game. The programs are simply not good enough to justify listening to the sponsors. And of course there is much more commercial time than there used to be.
