There are plenty who would pay never to be forced to see or hear another advert droning on....When pay tv first came here one of the big selling points was no advertising. I signed up immediately. When they brought in advertising I cancelled my contract and I haven't used it since. Bad enough the advertising on free to air. Certainly not going to pay for the bloody thing. But if such a tv is invented please let me know and I will buy one. I cannot imagine it is too difficult technically to create such a thing.
I want to invent a television that automatically switches channel to something else during commercial breaks. It doesn't have to be something special, maybe a music video.
Someone needs to invent this. Commercial breaks are far too often and far too long. It is mind destroying being subjected to this commercialism.
But there is a problem.
Supposing a person can design build and prepare such a beast for production - and let's face it, it can't be hard to do - how can it be promoted successfully without using the very structures it is designed to avoid?
