So many long ads now and my reaction to them

I am getting a list of companies I have a negative impression of by their long ads related to something I have no use for. I recall in the past getting a favorable impression of the Viking ads that used to run, actually motivating me to book a cruise.

Some companies get their messages across in 15 seconds. (Thanks ChickFIlA and Tracfone). I realize the ads pay the bills but the thirty second ones with no Skip Ad button make me hate the company.

I am ready to scream when I see yet another ad from the company that begins with A. Now that I think about it, there are two companies that start with a that fit that description.
