That's not even an install. A non-camera/video chat/QR scan app demanding permanent (!) access to the camera is a big No no
relax, when the industry puts this into practice (not IF but WHEN) they will stick it very slowly in us until we get used to it and don't even realize that we already accept it quietly without complaining
Unironically they're basically already doing that by having ads longer than the skip button, as you trade off ignoring the ad for the full duration and paying attention when you're intended video starts for paying attention waiting for the "Skip Ad" button.
Even just that short 5 seconds is enough for an ad to get embedded in your brain with enough repeated exposure.
Maybe it's because I'm autistic but that has the opposite effect on me. If I see your ad enough to remember the product that just means I'm going to avoid that product like a fuckin plague.
You're not immune to advertising and propaganda. Nobody is. Ads almost never work by directly making you think 'i should buy this'. You're even less immune to advertising and propaganda if you tell yourself you are, because that'll make you less interested in working against it.

At that point, retro gaming is where it’s at, or piracy, or board games, basically ANYTHING else is better than that.
Sadly it does feel we are very close to this… 😢
Be sure to stock up on verification cans
Have you had your Cuppliance?
Black Mirror
Which episode was this?
Think it's Fifteen Million Merits
I'm not OP, but I'm guessing Fifteen Million Merits (S01E02)
I'll quit using anything that does that.
It's your government issued app, required to access services like hospitals and social security.

No ads, no masters.
There's never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.
This is exactly why I stopped watching Twitch. It was the only service I tolerated ads on. Until they hit a point where the frequency and number of ads were just unbearable and I haven't opened the site since.
Like one person uses them responsibly, like specifically for bathroom breaks, forces them at specific times so people don't miss out on content.

I don't know if this is real but if it is, this method of forced watching something you are not interested in guarantees to create negative emotions towards that brand.
Yeah but the C suite is so far removed from reality they don't know, or don't care to know about it. It's not like you have much of a choice anyhow. They've bought up the competition, drove out the mom and pop shops. Their mentality is "yeah, but what are you gonna do about it?"

Wasn’t this actually patented?
Yes, boobaAwooga, by Sony.
"Fuck you, Mc Donalds"
"What was that?"
"Nothing"

I would just stop using whatever the service is. For as long as I can that is. Not long before our new dictatorship might force us to watch ads for crucial services.
The amount of times I've been watching youtube, it queueing up ads, and me just pressing the home button to switch to newpipe is immeasurable

I hope this idea is patented by a patent troll who has no intention of licensing it out for a reasonable cost...
Nope. Any service that would ever do that is instantly a no-go. I’d stop using a smartphone before I’d put up with that.
Is it time to put googly eyes on my testicles again? Do I have permission?
You take them off?

Kenneth Lamar Noid proved that violence is an effective means of stopping advertisements
throws phone against a wall
Oh wow! It worked! The ad is gone!
Blink detected... Added 10 more seconds of ads...
That's when I'd put my "smart" phone in the toaster and go dust off the Nokia 3310

This is where you write a companion app to load the ad in a separate instance while feeding it false camera input data and continue watching in peace.

As I have been transitioning more and more of my stuff to FOSS, it has become clear that the infrastructure to push shit on you is a huge problem in itself, even if you block and avoid it all.
The user experience benefit in performance alone makes it worth it for me. Even if we ignore eeeeeverything else, it’s so nice to have your computer just do what you ask it to do, and not triage your request with 50 other corporate priorities.
My favorite two recent examples are replacing Windows with Linux, and replacing Plex with Jellyfin.
How cute of them to think that they'll have access to camera or that I got a camera in the first place
Well, that's certainly one way to reduce our screen time. I've got shelves of neglected books that need attention.
