The whole idea that it violates the terms of service of a company to not let them show things on my screen without my consent is insane. It's like if every time you went to the grocery store, the employees held you down and force fed you a free sample, then banned you from the store when you started running away from them.
I’m imagining a future where you’re not allowed to mute broadcast commercials
I mean they already show ads when you pause. It's just a tiny jump further to play video ads when you pause.
