Today, for the first time, I had 30-second ads on my smart TV like wtf. Is that even legal

Thirty 30 second ads? Am I reading that wrong?

Sorry for the typos. 30 second ads

The Chinese consumers have been eating up ads like that for their TVs to power on for roughly half a decade at least. I'm talking Xiaomi. Chinese consumers are the perfect ad(shit)-eating consumer; so docile and they like to burn money (I mean, they do...literally).
