How do you feel about infomercials in lieu of regular commercials?

Some shows I watch now have infomercials in the space that usually would be several regular commercials. Previously, infomercials were half hour long shows, now I see them in the 2–6 minute spots where regular commercials would go in the middle of a program. It really gets on my nerves for some reason. I much prefer regular commercials, even if I am doing other things during the commercial, just having the infomercial on the background annoys me. What about you?

I DVR most shows I watch and can fast forward commercials, but not all of them.
