said by canesfan2001:I agree. And Hulu has had great success in delivering ads while not being annoying to users. I for one wouldn't mind seeing DVRs go away and just make EVERY program available on demand right when it airs without the ability to skip ads (or just limited fast-forwarding). While I'm no fan of ads, they do keep money flowing to companies that make good entertainment. If anything is to blame for all these reality shows, I would say it's that ad revenues drop because people don't watch them.
Product placement is the way to go and do away with the annoyances.
