Except this time we won't just be paying for the cable, we'll be paying to get the ads you want, too. You'll be paying for the DVR function or whatever they want.

As with everything else it will continue to degrade and enrage it's customers, and erode the entire country's very will to live. I am truly curious just how detrimental it is for everyone in this country to be exposed to the THOUSANDS of small fully intentional annoyances daily that are built into every product and service. It has to be a leading cause of how angry and divided we are and is absolutely causing many early deaths. Everyone is so stressed out by every single thing they interact with.

Your comment made me think of those sci-fi books where you have to pay or subscribe to use the simplest of everyday services (such as Ubik where the hero has to pay his door if he wants to go outside)

The most effective science fiction is that which is only an arm's reach away from current fact.

You should possibly look into some form of therapy if everything annoys you, especially if feels intentional.
