I wonder how long it will be before they start giving discounts on tickets for interacting with the ads a certain number of times during the flight.

Never. The whole ad craze is there to milk profits on top of the things you already paid for.

What you are suggesting would actually be a more fair system.

Free with ads or paid with no ads.

Asshole corporations want paid and ads.
