A dumping ground for stupid, useless junk, or for people to scam others in to buying their worthless "how to get rich" programs. It is sad to think that so many ignorant people buy into that crap, which is why there are so many new infomercials today. As P.T. Barnum said, "there is a sucker born every minute."

Broadcasters are businesses; businesses seek to make profits. They must believe that paid informercials are an effective means to do this since, instead of having to pay to produce or broadcast a program, someone is paying for the time. Advertisement, remember, is one of the few avenues by which broadcasters can make money.

Becuase idiots are looking for an excuse to throw their money away and the infomercials are looking for a way to exploit such...A perfect match.

The television stations get paid good money to air that irritating garbage.

This is the way people earn money!
They dont get money by giving you free entretainment 24hs,
I know in some channels is alittle too much but it could worth it if youre watching something good

Its like having a department store in your home. I hate them so much. If I want to buy something I will go and get it. I don't want the ads all over the TV.

it is easy money for the station
they do not have to buy a program to put on the air and then try to sell the advertising time to pay for it.

Another great place to advertise and properly explain the uses of pieces of crap.
