Comment on Roku explores taking over HDMI feeds with ads
subtext@lemmy.world 7 months agoThe problem with this philosophy is that it’s basically how ads started on the internet and now we’re here.
Oh it’s just a small, non-intrusive side bar ad, thats okay… oh it’s just ads on both sides… oh it’s just an additional ad on top and on the bottom… oh it’s just an easily dismissed pop up ad… oh it’s just a short video to watch before I’m allowed to see the site… repeat ad nauseam (no pun intended)

Yep, just like autoplay video was common early on, then bad and now it’s common again starting with ads.
