I realize that you likely meant in home/on device, but in some places it already is.
Delta planes with in-seat screens play ads pre-takeoff, and you can't turn them off or mute them. (Or at least you couldn't when I last tried several years ago. That customer abuse was the last time I flew Delta.)
The other day I went to get gas and was subjected to in-pump ads that I couldn't turn off or mute.
It may not be coming to our televisions soon, but it's already there in many other places.
- sspencer 8y agoSomewhere (possibly Reddit?) I learned about the unlabeled mute button for gas station TV ads. For certain pumps there are two rows of five or six unlabeled white buttons on the left and right of the screen - pressing the second button from the top on the right hand side of the screen mutes the blaring advertisement for me about 50% of the time. The times it works is pure bliss. YMMV but it's worth a try.
- jerf 8y agoFailing that, just press all the buttons you can find that don't immediately look like they'll cancel your transaction. I've found them all over the place. And I've found pumps that don't have any apparent mute buttons. But not very often.
