We need a real life adblock.

  That's called regulation. Proven to work many times over.

    regulation is impotent when it targets industry specifics rather than regulating adversarial psychology elements and the behaviors themselves. it's a nice feel-good political ticket for would-be politicians, but all it does is create an arms race whack-a-mole condition for every single new industry that pops up and requires new regulation. considering gambling : in the U.S. we outlaw new forms of gambling all day, but never dare to touch concepts that empower the gambling like addictive behavior psychology, short-term high-interest legal loan-sharking, whatever. We just ban the specific sports-bet-whatever and wait for the next one to sprout up, it's largely ineffective, that's why we're still talking about it.

    Not just for gambling ads, all ads. Something like the Vision Pro but as unintrusive as normal glasses today and running an open platform.

  Disabling the center channel of a surround sound system usually will kill the commentary during sporting events. Gets rid of it in a decent chunk of commercials too.
