Where I live, they do commercials before the start time and trailers between the start time and the movie.

That's what I'm used to. The way it used to be I made sure I didn't go into the theater before the time the movie was scheduled to start because that meant watching commercials. I tried that same tactic recently and had to watch almost 20 minutes of commercials before the trailers even started.

The enshitification in late stage capitalism is such a mess.

We're arguably at the beginning of end stage capitalism.

Thank glob. I can't wait to see what horrors await us in the upcoming phase
