    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.

        Reading your reply made me think … it’s possible that implying such technology might help rising Free & Open Source culture more … given that FOSS apps are usually ad-free and with no tracking

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

        It’s mine, you can’t pump it full of ads. All the media is mine and those companies can go fuck themselves.
