Oooook tweeps. I need someone to explain a TV anomaly to me: disappearing ads?
I have directv.
I am watching Maddow on a slight delay.
I saw a f***ing weird political ad while I was doing something else, so rewound it to see whose ad it was.
But the ad had disappeared. /1
The ad showed an African American man standing in front of a waving American flag complaining about "radical left" going after Trump (it was super odd).

When I rewound the stream, only one frame remained; the rest had disappeared b/w endless pharma and union ads. /2
So just this remained /3
And for real, I am so sick of everyone jacking with reality however they feel like it ... /4
I accept this must be the answer.

But I hate that this exists. That TV could be targeting us the same way the Internet does. This is why no one has TV and why we watch everything on a delay. /5
