There is no mouse unless you’re watching on a PC
Comment on ‘Pause Ads’ Creep Onto Hulu, Peacock and Max as Streamers Seek New Revenue
stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 1 year agoThey could have definitely implemented it better. What comes to my mind is showing the ad only when the shiw is stopped and mouse was inactive for 5 seconds. This way, you could just jiggle your mouse a little when trying to catch those easter eggs. Not ideal, but mych better than regular ads IMO.

That’s a reasonable compromise, but it’s actually in direct conflict with the ad-sales team’s goals because they want to verify to advertisers that you are actually watching. Which means it’s unlikely to happen.
