Meanwhile today I get an ad from eero for a WiFi 7 router system that costs $1699

Weirdly the things it’s the worst at.

There’s a note at the end of the article that says it was take using pano. So this is doubly unsurprising. Despite the instagram caption reading it wasn’t.

How do you imagine they profit?

In many jurisdictions it’s not legal to charge this fee unless it’s advertised when ordering such as on the menu or posted signage.

Yea makes sense. Network and cable TV in the US is and always has been about 50/50 ads to content. It’s horrendous to watch. And probably explains why some sizable number of Americans will always pay to go ad free if it’s an option.

Edit: and not be too concerned about a 10s bumper ad or two. Altho don’t get wrong they are increasingly obnoxious.

TV? The platform that basically is one giant ad? This is the most confusing comment.
