Do normal people mute the ads or just let the television keep going? (lemmy.world)

I diligently mute them, I'm a freak I cannot stand them. But from the nature of many people's complaints about ads, it seems like they listen to them and want to retain the words they've said?

Never directly watch any ads. We record everything on HTPC (NextPVR), ads are cut before the recordings get thrown into Jellyfin. Ads in general simply dont happen in our household

OP was asking about Normal people.

Of course non-normals ad block.

But I've seen my parents use their phone and ignore the 60% of ads take that over the screen.

I set my parents up with YouTube Revanced because they watch YouTube a ton. Now they complain and ask me to fix it whenever it gets out of date and some ads start to slip through...makes me so fuckin proud 😄
