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.
That’s how they get all of the Luigi’s.
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?”
Well why are they paying for ads if there’s no competition
Probably to burn money i guess
Didn’t sony, or another tv maker, file a patent on that? Or did I eat an onionYes they did, someone pointed to the drawing I saw
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?
So, all ads.
That’s an immediate uninstall.
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
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.
Maybe it’s because I’m autistic but that has the opposite effect on me. If I see your ad enough to remember the product that just means I’m going to avoid that product like a fuckin plague.
You’re not immune to advertising and propaganda. Nobody is. Ads almost never work by directly making you think ‘i should buy this’. You’re even less immune to advertising and propaganda if you tell yourself you are, because that’ll make you less interested in working against it.
I’m definitely not immune but sometimes an ad is annoying enough I decide I’m done with that company for a few years at least.
I haven’t bought Burger King since they started running that annoying fucking whopper ad, literally what pushed me into finally installing uBlock
I wouldn’t say I think I’m immune simply that it generally works in the opposite direction.
Same. It’s a great way to get my hatred
Same. If I’m interested or looking for that product, I’ll do my research.
Just got a new pair of chukkas from a company I’ve never heard of (Thursday) based on research. Not ready to spend $500 for some boots, these were great quality at reasonable price for me.
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
“Please watch this 5-minute advertisment to uninstall the app. Don’t break eye contact.”
uninstall your OS
“Before you delete your OS, would you like to know about the hot singles in your area?”
That’s a good way to make some of us dedicate the energy to building and flashing custom firmware.
Banking apps that need the ads to authenticate you for some reason: “Nuh uh!”
rant
Seriously, why the fuck do they depend on everything in your system to work? On my debloated Android there are like 20 different invasive packages that I can’t disable because they break my bank’s app.
Wasn’t this actually patented?
Yes, boobaAwooga, by Sony.
“Fuck you, Mc Donalds”
“What was that?”
“Nothing”
I asked this further up. Yay for not eating the onion
I hope this idea is patented by a patent troll who has no intention of licensing it out for a reasonable cost…
Is it time to put googly eyes on my testicles again? Do I have permission?
Yes
You take them off?
That’s when I’d put my “smart” phone in the toaster and go dust off the Nokia 3310
Ya im not using ANY device that does this.
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… 😢
Be sure to stock up on verification cans
Have you had your Cuppliance?
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.
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
Why arent you blocking ads?
Revanced is a game changer
Better than AdGuard, Ublock and all those?
Those don’t block ads from same domain, network wide. Dns adblock will block 90%+.
Device specific for ublock origin and adguard plugins, can’t put that on a Nintendo switch.
Blink detected… Added 10 more seconds of ads…
This will cause riots, lol.
If trump isn’t causing riots, this won’t either.
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.
We will just have sketchy apps we download happily that trick the phone into thinking we are looking, further bloating them.
“Detecting eyes not focused! Please focus.”
