Studies have shown that the average consumer needs to see a message several times before they take notice, and even more before they remember it. Seeing the same ad over and over again creates a sense of familiarity, which can lead to potential customers feeling more comfortable doing business with you.

They might be regional commercial breaks that ads are inserted by local cable companies or satellite companies. They may not have any regional commercials to insert, so that is why we see that screen.

As TV networks lose more subscribers to cord cutting, they're showing more commercials to keep revenues afloat. A new report by MoffettNathanson says networks averaged 12 minutes and 12 seconds of advertising per hour in the second quarter of 2019, up from 12 minutes flat a year ago.

2. Use ad blockers on the web.
3. Only select Youtube videos without ads, or pay the Red Tube fee to have ads removed.
