I watch a lot of television and really dislike commercials. They invariably come right when a pivotal scene begins and it is very irritating. I usually mute them and like YT because they let you move on and not be interrupted for so long. I find them rude and often insulting.
But, on the up side(I do try to find something positive), about once a year I see one that is unique, entertaining, and I can actually watch it without feeling a need to throw my remote at the screen. Last year it was that cute one from Apple "Privacy. That's iPhone." With the mechanical flock of birds following people,and them pushing the Safari button on their phones go get rid of them. Remember that one? I loved it. We'll, lastnight I saw a new one that I actually liked. It is from Cathay Cargo. This airplane is loading animals on it. Two by two elephants, flamingos, giraffes, lizards, and on and on they walk up the plank onto the plane. The last animal is a sloth crawling along. As the guy checks him off his list the sloth smiles at him. It is really cute.
Now, those are smart, inventive commercials. Not stupid and idiotic and making out like people are too dumb to survive. Those are insulting to me.
Do commercials bother you at all?

Yes, they do. I haven't seen any type of commercial except for the ones I quickly close out and ignore on myLot in years and years...
Why do you watch commercials on YT? You know you can use an adblocker and you never see commercials there again, right? I use uBlock Origin and just pause it for myLot...

@celticeagle uBlock Origin is free to use. Just make sure you pause it for myLot or myLot won't work for you. You CAN pay for uBlock Origin but the free version works just as well as the paid version.

Some commercials are beyond stupid. For weeks, the two that I truly hate are one by CEFCU, the lady who justifies her vanilla latte and muffin and her mobile app….the other one(well, there is more than one!) is that beyond stupid Jardience commercial, where the people all sing and dance about the medicine. I detest those.

Making people out to be stupid doesn't do anything for me.

When we are not in the mood for commercials, we will wait and watch the show the following day on demand.
We just watched the 2 hour season finale to Sullivan's Crossing without commercials, it was a refreshing break.
I will miss that series this summer, it was quite good.

The commercials I saw during the 60s 70s and 80s were quite entertaining, Now I have not TV but some commercials come on while I watch YouTube and some of them are really annoying,

Not usually. I find the pharmaceutical ones to be helpful. I also like to see what's new out in the marketplace.
