There's just no way I'm ever going to do this.

Honestly, I'd rather go forage for twigs and berries than interact with ads.

    I haven't seen an ad in like 15 years or so (at home) and i already find them incredibly dystopian and weird. I don't really understand how people put up with that right now, but it kind of tells me that they would actually do the laola wave and yell pepsi at their screen. I found my old VHS collection the other day and watched karate kid that i recorded as a child. I think it had 2 ad breaks who were really short, and back then we thought that it's getting a bit much with the ads.

    You raise a good point.

    I'm much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.

    I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don't seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it's just part of the show.

    The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that "some" ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn't have been aware of otherwise. I'll take blissful ignorance thanks.

    So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.
