Reply to comment by zero573 in CGI-powered ads are coming to Prime Video and Peacock. Both companies demonstrated new ad formats for Virtual Product Placements (VPP), a post-production technique to insert a brand into a show or movie after it's been filmed. by cartoonzi

I’m old enough to remember when cable was sold to us as the “ad-free” option to get away from broadcast TV that was cluttered with ads. Didn’t take too long before cable was waaaay worse with more ads than broadcast TV ever had.

Yeah I remember that too. As it is there is no cable in my house. We just stream everything, and are happier for it. But if they start treating streaming like cable, nah man, F-That. Tv isn’t the end of the world.
