    I have a digital family, we download and stream everyday. We all have iPhones, iPad's, laptops, and the kid and I play Xbox too. Couple that with Apple TV and the constant streaming of video that uses up a lot of data. But I also use my phone for news stories, and some have videos, and every video now has a 28 second commercial. I'm ok with the advertising vampires throwing their ads in there I just don't think i should have to pay for commercials.

    And fuck Facebook uses more data now because you can't stop those videos from streaming.

    On YouTube you can cancel the commercial after 5 seconds
