> but what I cannot do is bear 5 ads in a row every 30 minutes

This is basically how Television used to operate. I think it was more like, 4 ads every 15 minutes. So way more actually.

They had carte blanche and they literally made a worse version of the television model. The staff don't get paid for their work, and we have to watch more ads that watch us.

Yeah and we ditched TV for YouTube and Twitch!

It's definitely about time for a new long form media company.. maybe one that doesn't sell itself to Microsoft
