It's not as if you're forced to buy their products, after all; watching doesn't cost you a penny.

Well tough luck on them, and me if I cared, which I don't. There isn't really anything on tv that I care enough about to sit through the torture of their irrelevant, inane, too loud mass delusion that by assaulting my senses and insulting my intelligence every 15 minutes they're somehow going to persuade me to buy something. If the alternative is no tv and sit and read a book that's fine by me.
You can be a good little consumer if you wish, I don't care to. I wouldn't worry too much about the demise of advertisement ridden mass tv though. Far too many people and industries have far too much invested in the thesis that it works for it to go away any time soon.
