I love when instagram goes: "have you heard about ...?" Presumably asking this as they just showed me an ad about it that i completely ignored and i just go "no i haven't".

The only use of showing me ads is them getting paid and wasting my time. I don't pay attention to them because i either don't need/want it, just bought it or can't afford it.

It's been a long time since i bought something as a result of watching an ad.

do they make you keep watching the ad until you get it right?

[–] JackbyDev@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hulu does this thing sometimes where you can choose which ad you want if two videos. Usually there is a timer to pick a default for you. I don't see a timer on the screen, but I'm still wondering if Lexus is using that feature for this ad. Did it not progress until you selected something?

[–] frostysauce@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The right side of the screen is suspiciously out of frame. Is that where the timer usually is?

I have one TV for my PC monitor and one for, well, TV. Both hardwired to the network, no external network access. Wrote a quick PS script to switch from one to the other or both, made it into an EXE with buttons, très chic. Everything streams off a crappy USB drive "RAID" array. OpenVPN server with Digital Ocean, hosted in Amsterdam, $6/month. DONE.

I'm not on some crusade against capitalism, I simply choose not to participate in bullshit like this.

tl;dr: STEAL YO SHIT.

Can you continue to watch your show without answering? Or are you forced to watch the commercial and answenthe question to continue?

I mean, it's fine if they're doing research on the commercials themselves, and the answers show how much or little people actually pay attention. But if you can't continue your show without the right answer, that's a problem.

These companies are insufferable.

[–] leadore@lemmy.world 24 points 2 days ago (3 children)

If you answer wrong, what does it do? Refuse to show you any more of the program you are paying them to provide?

Oh wait, I know. It shows another ad, right? That's gotta be it. We'll keep showing you ads until you fucking pay attention!
