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… 😢

Which episode was this?
scottmeme@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Think it’s Fifteen Million Merits
Carload834@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
I’m not OP, but I’m guessing Fifteen Million Merits (S01E02)
JigglySackles@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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

No ads, no masters.
There’s never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.
EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
This is exactly why I stopped watching Twitch. It was the only service I tolerated ads on. Until they hit a point where the frequency and number of ads were just unbearable and I haven’t opened the site since.

Like one person uses them responsibly, like specifically for bathroom breaks, forces them at specific times so people don’t miss out on content.

Unabomber right?
iAvicenna@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I mean 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.
T00l_shed@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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?”
ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Well why are they paying for ads if there’s no competition
ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
That’s how they get all of the Luigi’s.
Sabata11792@ani.social 4 weeks ago
So, all ads.

Didn’t sony, or another tv maker, file a patent on that? Or did I eat an onion
EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
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?
BoobaAwooga@lemmynsfw.com 4 weeks ago
Wasn’t this actually patented?

“Fuck you, Mc Donalds”
“What was that?”
“Nothing”

I asked this further up. Yay for not eating the onion

I’m filling out the paperwork right now.
Bamboodpanda@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I would just stop using whatever the service is. For as long as I can that is. Not long before our new dictatorship might force us to watch ads for crucial services.
YourMomsTrashman@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
The amount of times I’ve been watching youtube, it queueing up ads, and me just pressing the home button to switch to newpipe is immeasurable

I hope this idea is patented by a patent troll who has no intention of licensing it out for a reasonable cost…

Stop giving them ideas.
Malfeasant@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
They’ve already had this one, I guarantee it.

Is it time to put googly eyes on my testicles again? Do I have permission?
TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You take them off?
cm0002@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Yes
Gork@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Charge your phone ffs
Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
exasperation@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
The phone only draws a charge while you’re watching ads, so you’ll need to watch an hour per day to recharge.
Emotional@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
In this economy?
Squorlple@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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!
RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Nope. Any service that would ever do that is instantly a no-go. I’d stop using a phone before I’d put up with that.
lemmydividebyzero@reddthat.com 4 weeks ago
Blink detected… Added 10 more seconds of ads…
imvii@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
That’s when I’d put my “smart” phone in the toaster and go dust off the Nokia 3310
Pacattack57@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Ya im not using ANY device that does this.
wheeldawg@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Next it’ll be the NoeyePhone, sold without the eye contact-tracking hardware.
JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
This is where you write a companion app to load the ad in a separate instance while feeding it false camera input data and continue watching in peace.
Emotional@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 weeks ago
I love that idea
Hiro8811@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
How cute of them to think that they’ll have access to camera or that I got a camera in the first place
Zink@programming.dev 4 weeks ago
As I have been transitioning more and more of my stuff to FOSS, it has become clear that the infrastructure to push shit on you is a huge problem in itself, even if you block and avoid it all.
The user experience benefit in performance alone makes it worth it for me. Even if we ignore eeeeeverything else, it’s so nice to have your computer just do what you ask it to do, and not triage your request with 50 other corporate priorities.
My favorite two recent examples are replacing Windows with Linux, and replacing Plex with Jellyfin.
Olhonestjim@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Well, that’s certainly one way to reduce our screen time. I’ve got shelves of neglected books that need attention.

We will just have sketchy apps we download happily that trick the phone into thinking we are looking, further bloating them.
Matriks404@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
This will cause riots, lol.
T00l_shed@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
If trump isn’t causing riots, this won’t either.
Furbag@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
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.

“Detecting eyes not focused! Please focus.”
Thrickles@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
That’s an immediate uninstall.
mustbe3to20signs@feddit.org 4 weeks ago
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
chemicalwonka@discuss.tchncs.de 4 weeks ago
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
Uranium_Green@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
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.
