Top Quora Q&As
Q. Which type of advertisement is shown on television?

Q. Why does TV have many ads when people already pay for the subscription unlike Netflix?

Q. What are the benefits of television advertising?
A. Plenty! Let’s look at some of the main perks. Firstly, it reaches your audience in an impactful way. Secondly, it reaches audiences with precision, but at scale. We’d love to go on but we can only fit so much in a small space – details inside!
Q. Is it my imagination, or are advertisers jamming more commercials in allotted time slots?
A. It all depends on the type of television you’re watching. Cable, broadcast or streaming? You’d be surprised that there’s much more commercials shown on one versus the other. Learn who are the biggest losers and winners.
