    I remembered a scene of a black mirror episode: if the person looked away the ads will stop until the person watch it again and it’s unavoidable … I wonder if this will be a reality one day

      Yes, the technology to do this is here, and they’re just waiting for the consumer to be able to put up with it.

        This is why I just set up a media server at home.
