If this was standard practice I would not just be buying for the novelty. That said, I definitely think it is possible to build a scalable system that works, it just needs some innovation.

I fullheartedly support comedy as a form of free speech that should not be influenced by sponsorship. Remember: Nothing is free. If something is "free", that's because it's you that's being sold.
