It's mostly commercials. And these commercials aren't made specifically for theaters either, they're the same crap they show on TV. Commercials are a deal breaker for me, so I just don't go to theaters anymore.
Where I live, they do commercials before the start time and trailers between the start time and the movie.
That's what I'm used to. The way it used to be I made sure I didn't go into the theater before the time the movie was scheduled to start because that meant watching commercials. I tried that same tactic recently and had to watch almost 20 minutes of commercials before the trailers even started.
The enshitification in late stage capitalism is such a mess.
We're arguably at the beginning of end stage capitalism.
Thank glob. I can't wait to see what horrors await us in the upcoming phase
