I remember years ago, there was a VCR that skipped commercials. It
relied upon a brief video blanking period and silence.
Obviously, the folks that are sponsoring the program disliked that
notion, it made their commercials worthless for a segment of market.
So, now we have seamless commercials in the US.
The more popular the program, the more of the damned things we get.
Seamlessly. In a way not easily detectable by automation.

I'd not be surprised to see the next home video disc market to be
heavily online and have commercials.
