Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

TV used to be free over the air. Commercials were in-show. Often done buy the hosts themselves talking up a product. Pretty much exactly like YouTube and podcasts do now.

Then cable was invented and they charged for it. But commercials never went away.
