    That’s an immediate uninstall.

      That’s not even an install. A non-camera/video chat/QR scan app demanding permanent (!) access to the camera is a big No no

      relax, when the industry puts this into practice (not IF but WHEN) they will stick it very slowly in us until we get used to it and don’t even realize that we already accept it quietly without complaining

        Unironically they’re basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you’re intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the “Skip Ad” button.

        Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.

      At that point, retro gaming is where it’s at, or piracy, or board games, basically ANYTHING else is better than that.

      Sadly it does feel we are very close to this… 😢

    No ads, no masters.

    There’s never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.

      This is exactly why I stopped watching Twitch. It was the only service I tolerated ads on. Until they hit a point where the frequency and number of ads were just unbearable and I haven’t opened the site since.

        Like one person uses them responsibly, like specifically for bathroom breaks, forces them at specific times so people don’t miss out on content.

    I mean I don’t know if this is real but if it is, this method of forced watching something you are not interested in guarantees to create negative emotions towards that brand.

      Yeah but the C suite is so far removed from reality they don’t know, or don’t care to know about it. It’s not like you have much of a choice anyhow. They’ve bought up the competition, drove out the mom and pop shops. Their mentality is “yeah, but what are you gonna do about it?”

      • EldritchFeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        I believe there’s been a few like that. I think there was an eye contact one, but also one that required you to stand up during ads and another that counted the number of people in the room to make sure you bought the right number of pay per view tickets?

    I would just stop using whatever the service is. For as long as I can that is. Not long before our new dictatorship might force us to watch ads for crucial services.

      The phone only draws a charge while you’re watching ads, so you’ll need to watch an hour per day to recharge.

    This is where you write a companion app to load the ad in a separate instance while feeding it false camera input data and continue watching in peace.

  • Zink@programming.dev ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

    As I have been transitioning more and more of my stuff to FOSS, it has become clear that the infrastructure to push shit on you is a huge problem in itself, even if you block and avoid it all.

    The user experience benefit in performance alone makes it worth it for me. Even if we ignore eeeeeverything else, it’s so nice to have your computer just do what you ask it to do, and not triage your request with 50 other corporate priorities.

    My favorite two recent examples are replacing Windows with Linux, and replacing Plex with Jellyfin.

        True. If I ever use the internet without an adblocker, I am instantly reminded of how much heavy lifting it does. Normies will just roll over and take this since they are quite used to watching series of unskippable ads at this point.
