Hey, you might want to team up with Sony...
- DRINK VERIFICATION CAN!
  
  Roll verification coal to continue
  FTFY
- Wasnt there also something about showing ads while your show is paused now too?
  I'm ready to go back to kodi.
  
  Happens on Prime now
  
  Depending on how long you were gone, don't get real debrid btw.
  
  What happened to real-debrid?
  
  I don't know the whole story. Real debrid is french, and they released a new law or something and real debrid all debrid and mega debrid just stopped working. Except for the thing no one uses it for.
- Is this real?? Do you have the source?

  I'm lost for words.
  ...what if the whole family is watching? Does everyone have to raise their hands and yell "McDonalds"? Including the kids?
  This might just as well be used in "smart" fridges. "Do this corporate dance to get 20% off your next Corn Flakes"
  
  There's just no way I'm ever going to do this.
  Honestly, I'd rather go forage for twigs and berries than interact with ads.
  
  I haven't seen an ad in like 15 years or so (at home) and i already find them incredibly dystopian and weird. I don't really understand how people put up with that right now, but it kind of tells me that they would actually do the laola wave and yell pepsi at their screen. I found my old VHS collection the other day and watched karate kid that i recorded as a child. I think it had 2 ad breaks who were really short, and back then we thought that it's getting a bit much with the ads.
  
  You raise a good point.
  I'm much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.
  I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don't seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it's just part of the show.
  The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that "some" ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. I'll take blissful ignorance thanks.
  So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.
