Well the distinction here is that TV license paying citizens of the UK don’t get the ads.

In the UK the BBC only has advertisements for its own content, nothing else. As bad as its got since Tony Blair and David Cameron both undermined its independence and quality, at least there are no ad breaks in its shows.
Microfilms used to be sold as having a life expectancy of up 500 years. But in my experience they were a pain to use and the machines costly to maintain. The films would tear regularly too. Also the quality of the recorded image could be very poor sometimes.
The usual cycle of tech-bro capitalism would put them currently on the early acquire market saturation stage. So it’s unlikely that they are currently charging what they will when they are established and have displaced lots of necessary occupations.
That’s such a Kissinger frame of mind.

It still works. Most of the apps are borked. Windows Explorer hasn’t been updated in 5+ years so doesn’t work with most sites. Baconit escaped reddit’s 3rd party app purge and still works. Imgur still works well but with all the genX on it reminds me of icanhazcheezeburger.

Not that all this diminishes it entirely but it does seem to be an entry drug for exploitation by the right.
I gotta hold my hand up and state that I am not read up on it at all, so happy to be corrected. But my impression is that Pope Leo XIII’s conception was to reduce secular power so as to leave a void for the church to fill. And it’s the potential exploitation of that void that attracts the far right too.
Just the five minutes. Thank you. Anyway, I did.
Oh I’m sorry, is this a five minute argument, or the full half hour?

What do you think have been the successful privatizations in the UK. To my mind none of the big ones. I guess the little ones that work we don’t hear too much about.

You won’t get any disagreement from me on the corrosive effects of advertising.
I do think that Channel 4 used to regularly produce greater content than it can now. But that probably is more to do with advertising revenue being leeched away to online platforms and the growth of its direct competitors.
