Sssht, you might give them ideas. I am cynical enough to believe that they will add a IR heartrate sensor (a la XBox One Kinect) to 'pause entertainment' when nobody is in the room.
Formulated like that, it even sounds like a feature ;).

- afandian 11y agoSpotify won't let you mute during adverts and will pause if it detects the system volume drop quickly. They can't detect the volume on external speakers. But there's no reason why they couldn't with a microphone.
- brightsize 11y agoiHeart, at least on Android, will download (using precious cell bandwidth) video ads and play them, during which time it disables the "back" button. You're forced to let the ad play. You can still switch to another app while this is going on, but IIRC you can't turn off the audio part of the ad by doing so. My "solution" when listening to iHeart is to keep the Android settings app running with the iHeart app selected, ready to "Force stop" it.
