Bugatti and Krupp took the same approach. It's really very nice.

No, it is more complicated than that. Cable television can only derive advertising revenue from channels they control. They don't get a dime of the bazillion dollars that Pepsi spends on the Superbowl, for instance, just as they don't get a dime for the ads on my website, and back in the day when cable only showed network television it cost less than ten bucks. If I only wanted network over cable now it would only cost me fifteen bucks, because I'd only be paying for the cable, not the content (and I'll point out that the only reason my cable bill is $49 is because I do get some commercial free channels plus commercial free "radio" (if you don't count the advertising for the music itself).
So they set up their own content channels to which they could direct my viewership and sell advertising on it, and have to produce content to get me to do that, and the content has to be payed for, so they sell advertising. ..
On the flip side my cable internet provider, since it doesn't derive a dime from the advertising on my website, sets up it's own portal, sells advertising on it, and attempts to direct as much of my internet use through their portal as they can.
The weighting of the numbers changings from one to the other, but the practice is the same.
Go out in your yard tonight, hang up a white sheet, shine flashlight on sheet (if you don't have a flashlight a small fire will do. Do not burn sheet), see what happens.

Perhaps neglecting the fact that if a word has multiple meanings the existence of one meaning does not negate the proper use of another meaning is an oversight on your part?

What does an ISP's website have to do with internet ads on the rest of the web?
Nothing, just as ads on NBC have nothing to with ads on cable only channels.

On cable, it's the cable company that dictates the commercials
This will be news to NBC.
On the internet, the ISP does NOT dictate internet ads.
This will be news to the maintainers of my ISPs website.

If I have to pay 49$'s a month for cable why do I have to have commercials.
For exactly the same reason that you have to pay $49 for a cable internet connection but websites still have ads on them.

If your goal is to hide your underwear from the world, you should wear clothing that doesn't have openings through which your underwear can be seen.
I deal with that issue by the simple expedient of not wearing any (with the exception of when I'm on stage).
I suppose anyone sneaking up from behind who has become confused by the skirt and the ponytail is in for a rude awakening though.

Titanic and is the kind of movie you go see with your girl friend. . .
Unless, of course, you actually like your girlfriend.
About six hours into the damned thing we were both sitting there muttering, "Oh for God's sake, sink already!"
Little did we suspect, at the time, that the ship finally going down was only the beginning of the torture.

The original poster used "oversight" in a correct manner, and someone defended him.

And then someone attempted to repudiate the defense

Most people would have done though.
If so I guess that's just another data point leading to the conclusion that I'll never really understand most people.
