That meme was prophetic.
Recently heard about ads that make you take a quiz at the end to make sure you were paying attention, we’re not far now…

Wow is this a clip from Archie’s Weird Mysteries?? I never thought I’d see that online.
Yes, this was in 1984, the TVs that watch you back.
Cars already have this. It will be in tvs in no time
w…wait , really?
Not for ads but for looking forward if you take your eyes off the road it cancels the auto drive. They can apply it to looking at ads very easily
What kind of ads are in your car besides the radio?
I usually don’t watch YouTube on my playstation but yesterday I did and every 10 minutes it played a 2-minute unskippable ad and I simply turned off my TV. 10/10 very effective.
That’s been my experience going to some of my friend’s houses. It’s despicable that Google thinks this is acceptable.
I swear I don’t understand how people without adblock can stand any website these days…
Look at moi, look at moi, look at mooooi
I’ve got one thing to way to you
Ublock origin
Are there way more Australians on Lemmy than I expected, or are people up voting you you of confusion?
Kath & Kim is one of Australia’s finest cultural exports
I would like to inform you that Canadian gays love 2 shows from Oz; “Kath and Kim”, as well as “Please like me”.
Wentworth is a little extra, but it has it’s camp moments.
You should checkout Black Comedy, from SBS
Cough cough Sony patentAnd yet never implemented! Good guy Sony getting a patent so nobody else will do this
I’m gonna patent a robot that uses Deepseek to identify forece-response ads on the telly, and it automatically responds to the ad in lieu of the human.
Let the arms race commence. I’ve got all day.
Ad pauses until your eye tracking shows you are engaging with the Ad. (The future)
Watch me fuck off from the platform at the speed of light - I am already halfway from going full “fuck it, let’s pretend it’s '99” and hanging out on phpbb forums and Neocities.
If you don’t watch your youtube, how can you have any lemmy?

googly eyes on a stick.
Yeah. Unfortunately. This sounds far too likely.

Any adblocks x smart TV?
SmartTube if it’s an Android TV.
Edit: Use the link in the reply below. I’ve had it installed for years, didn’t realise it’s changed 😁 Thanks, perfectly_boiled_pizza
Download and install the APK through Downloader app or USB, only takes a few mins following instructions.
Devs keep it very regularly up to date. SponsorBlock included. Many excellent additional features making it way better at being YouTube than the YouTube app could ever be.
That’s not the official site. It has an old version (July 2024) and the file might contain malware. You can safely download the latest version from GitHub and find their updated guide there.
If you don’t want to use Github, you can use the site they have linked to which is https://smarttubeapp.github.io/
If you need it on tizen os (Samsung TV’s) there is tizentube
I now moved to android tv (modified), but tizentube made my Samsung tv at least bearable.
Don’t connect the TV to the internet. Buy a Shield or AppleTV.
The only ads Ive watched in the past year were ads from flex seal and tim henson, and those were technically just videos.
If ads were like that I wouldnt mind them as much
Lol I’ve actually done this and muted it too
Literally with any ad nowadays. I immediately tune out all my sensory organs
Damn even your genitals??
My goal is to never buy anything that they ad. I can’t always avoid it, but i largely do.
Press M for mute. Most adds’ sound design is awful.
Not for long…
