Sometimes I go visit an elderly aunt, who watches a lot of TV. One time I was there and watched a bit of TV with her and my cousin. I had the remote, and started manually muting every time that ads came on.

They thought I was crazy. Why would I want to mute ads? They just didn't understand why I would do that. Anyway, I haven't watched TV with them since then.

Also, paying for a with-ads subscription like Hulu-with-ads. I honestly don't get it.

Idk maybe you should and always mute it, maybe after awhile of you doing it it'll be harder when you're not there doing it to keep the status quo and they can join us on the fuck ads team lmao
