I am from the generation that still watches linear television. No streaming, but look at what's on offer at a certain time.

I have also made it a sport to see as little commercials as possible, so every time commercials start I start zapping. Those channels know this too and that is why they all show those commercial breaks at the same time.

Sometimes I watch a program again. Then you can flush the uninteresting parts. Just not the most uninteresting part: the commercials.

Lately, when watching commercials for new cars I am often surprised (read: bothered) by how the prices of those cars are stated. For example: "Now starting at € 48.785,-". As if it were a bargain. 
 
What kind of convenience is this for advertisers, as if everyone can afford it? If I already had 50K in the bank, I would know of many more fun things to do than buy a car.

I was thinking what an advertisement would look like if you were to promote building a new website in that way. 
 
The advertisers put a group of people together under a
large canvas but you cannot see who is underneath it. Then you hear exciting music and a large fan starts blowing the curtain off the people. One by one the people emerge from under the cloth, cheering and dancing.

They all laugh and toast with a glass of champagne and then the text appears large on the screen: "Your new website, now starting at € 39.995,-".
 
And then briefly, in small letters somewhere at the bottom of the screen, the disclaimer that the final costs may differ due to unforeseen circumstances and setbacks during development.
