But that's not my problem. That's the content creator's problem for choosing to get paid by advertisers and releasing the content for free mass consumption.
They picked the model - they must deal with the consequences of it.
One of the most obvious consequences is that they have zero right to any of the audience's time, attention, or money. They have entered no contract with the viewer at all.
Frankly - I'd very much rather see a return to viewer funded media. Stop wrapping me up like a product to be auctioned off. Make content I want to watch and ask for fair compensation from me.
If you can't find enough people willing to pay... your content probably doesn't need to exist.
Act like NPR and man up - ask me for my money. Put on content that's worth me opening my wallet.
