How old are you? The reason I ask is because it was very common to watch movies with ads via free-to-air TV in the 90s, at least in families that didn’t have cable TV. Not all families could afford to buy more and more movies on VHS.
Yeah, there’s a history here. That being said, newspapers have included ads and purchase fees for a long time AFAIK.
