#Commercialisation ...of #TV 📺 #Internet 🌐 ...and Earth 🌎
(and Adverts in Everything!)

Like the diluting of what was once pure, it then gets watered down or advert-packed to keep us watching... (... adverts).

That's what this is about mainly:

" #Maximising " things and cashing it in towards their death (inevitably pushing and killing things after helping feed or creat them - steady profiting more and more as time goes on).

THE REST BELOW EXPANDS ON THAT - ABOVE IS THE MAIN

⏺️ DISCLAIMER 1
While everything was "pure" before (or geeky or niche or even rarely practices) was always going to do bigger things the more interest there was building for it. So I accept even the Internet itself from modems and BBS Bulletin board system to broadband you people enjoy (I'm almost still on modems lol!) means that commercialisation was inevitable and mostly needed EVEN THOUGH the TONS of money and $tate infrastructure is charging planet and us PLENTY for the broadband-drug streaming to us per month which companies can increase price or adverts into our addiction-filled lives - so adverts are naturally with that... [shrug] ...especially as they test and find tolerance levels...

⏺️ ❓ What's your golden period? ❓
"THE" golden period I think of is the 2000's as we had the best of everything, early broadband or even just before with personally crafted crappy custom HTML sites, ecologic internet (telephone lines and modem) and less addiction (lower baud speeds) etc etc - 1 film a day MAX! Ok maybe a bit more on braodband but picking and choosing was good as naturally any human goes out of control with 'all you can eat' entertainment...

⏺️ BACK TO TODAY
Blogs becoming the same kind of advert rolls in between text (or is it text in between advert rolls), now each page is almost the same copy and pasted version or setup perfecting what was the SEO search engine with keywords and other tactics so everything now looks the same for anything non-Wikipedia or other than official pages. Now the system is too good and technical availability being taken advantage of at the cost of quality or even genuine interest (it's all just for money isn't it?)

⏺️ SOMEONE ELSE'S COMMENT JUST MENTIONED IN PASSING...
A comment by nprofile1qy2hwumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kyqpqz4evr98dl2rnn3rgxt98y03le37zk9gx7f35jpa9ae2c0z9uhuxqqgr5c7 (nprofile…r5c7) / GhostOnTheHalfShell's affirms some of these types of things that happen to a TV series that "slowly was crushed by never increasing commercial schedule, which is to say that the show barely had any content"

⏺️ DISCLAIMER 2:
I admit content being drawn out and advert-filled doesn't mean the quality or worth is always less (#NationalGeographic #Wildlife TV stuff I'm thinking of where you can get tea in between or really do something else and come back to it when it gets interesting again). Even if overall the enjoyment process is changed it doesn't make it instantly crap... And since TV back then, the downloading of episodes (TV had unavoidable adverts back then)... which was solved temporarily until streaming came along and it's like being back on TV but via internet with it's tracking engines and more!

but anyway....

⏺️ OVERALL yes the feeling is that *feeding* #habits also becomes too much, too pure, too watered down or whatever too much... too much is bad, too much is too much... whoever is supplying it and we have to say no / I need less / I have to moderate it to only *this* part of my life which is hard with 'educational things' especially that turn out to be EVERYTHING!

⏺️ ❓ I hope it all amounts to something and we do get #wiser and more #ECOLOGICALLY #practical, more than #capitalist consuming and find ways to trap people to watch adverts or be tracked in our online habits...
