Yep, cable was first used to allow people to watch the same channels that were available over the air just from a more locations than what was available via antenna at their home (and with better reception), so it had the same commercials.
Premium channels were commercial-less for 7 or 9 years (can’t remember exactly) before the first premium channel decided to start running adverts.

How people feel is important to know because it will influence how a change needs to be presented.
In this example: A lot of oeople feel safer owning guns, science show they’re wrong and it actually decreases their safety, in order to be able to change things in a way that people will accept it that perception needs to be changed.
I constantly see angry mobs of people decrying “woke”, “critical race theory”, ““grooming””, and whatever other nonsense they made up this week. They march around with guns, constantly appending lib as a prefix to any word they can use to denigrate. They actively plot violence and spew hatred in the open....
Oh, I don’t know, what do you think will teach them a lesson between losing sales for a few days or losing sales long term? 🤔
The financial impact will have been minimal and that’s what’s important to them, they were expecting to make X$ from this game this year, now Sony will have lost a week’s profit from few players because people are jumping back in when they could have made Sony lose years of profit from a lot of players by leaving negative reviews and by not playing or paying for currencies anymore.
It’s corporations we’re dealing with, not people, we don’t owe them anything, especially not pardon.
Helldivers 2 required PSN from the moment it became available, it was just put on hold while the servers were catching up to the demand.
As I said, they didn’t learn a thing and will learn even less if people just go back to rewarding them with money because they put PSN implementation on hold for a single game.
And in this specific case to be able to prove it wasn’t out of spite they have to be able to prove that Trump was given the opportunity to learn from his mistakes. They could send him to jail right away, all that would lead to is their neutrality being questioned and a high risk of the trial being pushed back to a later date or cancelled altogether and the judge could say “I was being neutral” all they wanted, the end result would be worse than if they just wait until they reach a point where their neutrality cannot be questioned.
So again, I will ask, would you rather see Trump spend a weekend in jail and the trial ending or would you rather see Trump being fined and the trial reaching its conclusion?
These are the choices we’re presented with right now, not the unicorn world you live in where Trump spends the weekend in jail after one offense and the trial then goes on as intended.
You do if it’s Trump and he uses it to question the judge’s neutrality.
How long do you think before they replace the judge and get things started again? If you believe it won’t be long enough to get him elected then I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
It would allow him to stall everything by opening the door to questioning the judge’s neutrality and missing would move forward before he got elected again.
You guys are wishing to see him held in contempt even if it means he probably won’t see any other jail time after that, I’m close to the point where I’ll start to think you’re on his side and just want to see him win.
There is only one code of law that applies to this case and it states that the judge can either impose a fine of maximum 1k for each count or jail the person, so the judge is doing exactly what the code of law allows them to do.
You’re still not answering the question.
Jail for the weekend at the risk of seeing him go scot-free OR fines and you’re sure the trial reaches its conclusion?
So you’re ok with Trump just going in jail for the weekend, alright.
If you think there’s a risk of witness and jury dying then what the fuck do you think will happen if he spends a weekend held in contempt? You think things will calm down after that and his base will go “Yeah, he deserved that”???
