Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away."
Pringles@sopuli.xyz 12 hours agoIf it would allow you to end the commercial early, it would kind of be genius. “Watch this 2 minute ad or say ‘I love McDonald’s’ to immediately continue watching” is something that definitely would work. It would get these phrases or slogans ingrained while providing a better viewing experience.
Don’t get me wrong, I would hate it as much as anyone any other lemmy user. However from a marketing perspective it’s pretty solid while a significant percentage of the viewership would not only participate, but laud it as a good solution to skip the forced commercials.

It sounds like fun.
Then the next wave is that the feature length advert will play. You can see the shortened version by shouting I LOVE MCDONALDS. Or you can skip entirely by showing the Camera the New McFood Deluxe and eating it.
These motherfuckers do not know the meaning of the words “dystopian hellscape”. There is no such thing as too much, too far, too invasive, too insidious. There is only “so what’s next for our marketing department?”
