    The ads on over the air programming are so so terrible. And even with a great antenna the many channels aren’t exactly the highest quality content even if they didn’t have ads.

    YouTube has taken the place of over the air TV and for good reason.

      It has taken the place in people’s behaviour but it has not taken the place functionally. No doubt, you use technology to filter ads out of YouTube viewing, and one could do the same with OTA broadcasts.

        Also attempts to make the ads more invasive (louder in this case) are literally legally limited by the federal government.
