That’s an immediate uninstall.
At that point, retro gaming is where it’s at, or piracy, or board games, basically ANYTHING else is better than that.
Sadly it does feel we are very close to this… 😢
Be sure to stock up on verification cans
Have you had your Cuppliance?
Black Mirror
Which episode was this?
I’ll quit using anything that does that.
I don’t know if this is real but if it is, this method of forced watching something you are not interested in guarantees to create negative emotions towards that brand.
Yeah but the C suite is so far removed from reality they don’t know, or don’t care to know about it. It’s not like you have much of a choice anyhow. They’ve bought up the competition, drove out the mom and pop shops. Their mentality is “yeah, but what are you gonna do about it?”
Well why are they paying for ads if there’s no competition
Probably to burn money i guess
That’s how they get all of the Luigi’s.
I would just stop using whatever the service is. For as long as I can that is. Not long before our new dictatorship might force us to watch ads for crucial services.
The amount of times I’ve been watching youtube, it queueing up ads, and me just pressing the home button to switch to newpipe is immeasurable
Why arent you blocking ads?
I can’t live without adblock and unhook lol, but my phone seems too old and shitty to run the web version of youtube without draining battery.
Kenneth Lamar Noid proved that violence is an effective means of stopping advertisements
Is it time to put googly eyes on my testicles again? Do I have permission?
You take them off?
Yes
Charge your phone ffs
The phone only draws a charge while you’re watching ads, so you’ll need to watch an hour per day to recharge.
Nope. Any service that would ever do that is instantly a no-go. I’d stop using a smartphone before I’d put up with that.
Well, that’s certainly one way to reduce our screen time. I’ve got shelves of neglected books that need attention.
This is where you write a companion app to load the ad in a separate instance while feeding it false camera input data and continue watching in peace.
How cute of them to think that they’ll have access to camera or that I got a camera in the first place
