Harder for manual advert removal too. They seem to be making some of them much shorter in duration, if they're traditional static captions, and to be using some with moving images that don't look like station idents at all. They're harder to spot while spooling through in fast-
forward so presumably this is the reason, but it just makes me more determined than ever to edit out every last one of them before settling down to watch without interruption.

The most significant change in recent years, is there is no longer half a second of black and silence between each ad. They obviously think that some viewers' attention spans are less than 12 frames.
