Fortunately we mostly watch two or three BBC channels so no ads - just trailers between programmes.
When we first got commcerial TV ther was a skill in finding an appropriate place in the "action" to pause the programme, and so re-commence without disturbing the run of the programme. Some commercial channels we have pay no attention to this, and a programme can be stopped in mid dialogue or action for endless ads. This is when I remember that such commercial channels arew not there to provide us with entertainment, but for us to provide a gullible audience for their advertisers. Sometimes I just ignore these channels. Ever get that feeling ...."what was I watching?" I have to say that I am antagonistic to TV advertised products. It is also interesting to observe what demographic they think that such and such programmes will attract. Why would I want endless hair product, or to gamble? (that means I'm watching rubbish...move on nothing to see here (true!)

Netflix fan here, but when watching regular cable, I use the commercials to get myself a drink, or to visit the washroom. To chat up the better half, check my email.... so not a biggie. If I decide to wait out the commercial, I usually mute them.

I watch a lot of British shows on Acorn subscription TV. Great shows and no commercials.
