Not long before this applies to the flight itself. “Upgrade your ticket now to experience ads customization on your flight, including features such as seatback video dimming and optional opt-out of feedback surveys!”

"Upgrade your cabin pressurization now! If more than half the flight pays to upgrade the pilots will lower the cabin altitude from 15,000ft to 8,000ft!"

  15000ft is fine by me, why should I have to pay for other passengers pressurization? I thought this was America. I usually hyperventilate the entire flight to get my money's worth of O2.

After that there will be surcharges for wearing an eyemask or noise-cancelling headphones, to recoup the airline's lost revenues from passengers' less than total engagement with in-flight ads.

In the US, they've started playing advertisements at gas pumps. To make matters worse they turn the volume way up. I have never in my life been so tempted to perform an act of vandalism. Something about this kind of invasion of personal and mental space is absolutely infuriating. I can't even daydream anymore -- even that is up for grabs by advertisers.

  Pro tip: Usually one of the buttons on the side of the screen will mute the video even if the UI element isn't displayed.

    Sometimes it’s 2 buttons together. Although even then, it doesn’t necessarily stay silent for more than 30 seconds.

  I’ve been to a gas station where they have loudspeakers on the building itself and they pepper their customers and everyone else in a few hundred foot radius with noise. Thankfully it’s been long enough I don’t remember the contents but I think it was for food and drinks inside.
