>When we signed up for YouTube TV, my kids were blown away and confused by the concept of TV ads!
I wonder if advertisers are shooting themselves in the foot here by making "ad-free experiences" such a norm. Yes, you often have to pay for it, but the end result is still people NOT being exposed to ads as much overall. Are they raising a generation of kids who have never seen a "traditional" ad and therefore are increasingly intolerant of them when they do show up? Are we moving to a world where advertisers have a terrible time advertising products because people just don't see ads anymore? Or maybe it'll weaken people's defenses against advertising because they're not as experienced with them?
