... so I reach for the remote and turn off the sound. Which means I don't hear the ad, which is probably not the intention.
I see commercials as a challenge: can I hit the mute button before the first syllable of the commercial emerges? I win a lot! :)
... do you people just suffer through it, or are these advertisers more stupid that I thought?
In advertising, there is a constant and continuing race to the bottom. Not being a Millennial, I really hate many ads aimed squarely at Millennials, especially the auto ads. I get the impression advertisers must think they can convince Millennials to buy anything if they throw in enough music, squirrelly looking people, and scene changes that occur at two second intervals.
