This will cause riots, lol.
If trump isn’t causing riots, this won’t either.
True. If I ever use the internet without an adblocker, I am instantly reminded of how much heavy lifting it does. Normies will just roll over and take this since they are quite used to watching series of unskippable ads at this point.
Be sure to stock up on verification cans
Have you had your Cuppliance?
That’s an immediate uninstall.
relax, when the industry puts this into practice (not IF but WHEN) they will stick it very slowly in us until we get used to it and don’t even realize that we already accept it quietly without complaining
Unironically they’re basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you’re intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the “Skip Ad” button.
Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.
Maybe it’s because I’m autistic but that has the opposite effect on me. If I see your ad enough to remember the product that just means I’m going to avoid that product like a fuckin plague.
You’re not immune to advertising and propaganda. Nobody is. Ads almost never work by directly making you think ‘i should buy this’. You’re even less immune to advertising and propaganda if you tell yourself you are, because that’ll make you less interested in working against it.
I’m definitely not immune but sometimes an ad is annoying enough I decide I’m done with that company for a few years at least.
I haven’t bought Burger King since they started running that annoying fucking whopper ad, literally what pushed me into finally installing uBlock
I wouldn’t say I think I’m immune simply that it generally works in the opposite direction.
Same. If I’m interested or looking for that product, I’ll do my research.
Just got a new pair of chukkas from a company I’ve never heard of (Thursday) based on research. Not ready to spend $500 for some boots, these were great quality at reasonable price for me.
“Please watch this 5-minute advertisment to uninstall the app. Don’t break eye contact.”
uninstall your OS
“Before you delete your OS, would you like to know about the hot singles in your area?”
That’s not even an install. A non-camera/video chat/QR scan app demanding permanent (!) access to the camera is a big No no
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… 😢
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.
Didn’t sony, or another tv maker, file a patent on that? Or did I eat an onionYes they did, someone pointed to the drawing I saw
I believe there’s been a few like that. I think there was an eye contact one, but also one that required you to stand up during ads and another that counted the number of people in the room to make sure you bought the right number of pay per view tickets?
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
How cute of them to think that they’ll have access to camera or that I got a camera in the first place
I’ll quit using anything that does that.
It’s your government issued app, required to access services like hospitals and social security.
I’ll put a bomb in my underwear
You know we have toilets for that, right?
But where’s the fun in that?
I’ll quite that government
Where you gonna go without your government issued passport?
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.
Kenneth Lamar Noid proved that violence is an effective means of stopping advertisements
throws phone against a wall
Oh wow! It worked! The ad is gone!
Black Mirror
Which episode was this?
I’m not OP, but I’m guessing Fifteen Million Merits (S01E02)
Think it’s Fifteen Million Merits
Charge your phone ffs
We will just have sketchy apps we download happily that trick the phone into thinking we are looking, further bloating them.
