When sponsors become aware of this more programming  costs will be added to your subscription.

I use Hulu now and watch the 30 and occasionally 60 second commercials because there is not time enough to do anything else.

A 30 second commercial that people watch seems a bit better than one that allows me to get coffe the first time and go to the bathroom the second time…
