Not everyone would want the cache cleared all the time. Cache is useful, it prevents you from reloading everything every time. If he was to add the functionality it would probably need to be an adjustable setting.
Yeah I understand how cache works and it's benefits, but my point was, if the only way to fix the issue is to clear the cache, and if changes are coming down daily that requires you to clear the cache daily so you don't see commercials, that they might as well automate that.
That if you do not want to see commercials you lose the benefits of having a cache, basically.
