  You know, I’ve seen this image at least 15 years ago and thought it was a joke.

  Now that I’m older now, I’m guessing this is an actual diagram for implementing and perhaps patenting interactive commercials?

  We literally reward people in our society for being as shitty as possible. Can we stop doing that?

  I’m waiting for the day we get the Black Mirror technology where the ad stops playing when you look away and doesn’t start again until you look back at it, forcing you to watch the entire ad all the way through
