    This seems to follow a progression

    • No ads
    • Non-intrusive ads
    • Intrusive ads, but you can pay to make them go away
    • Intrusive ads, but you can pay to make them less intrusive
    • Intrusive ads and you have to pay just to see the content
    • Content becomes ads
    • Ads pretend to be content (see Dr. Pepper’s “Fansville”)
    • Award categories for ads are featured in major award ceremonies
    • Award ceremonies just for ads go mainstream

    Actually not sure what’s real vs hypothetical at this point.

      We’ve been through this before. FFS, the US has a whole event whose entire point for like 99% of the audience is to see which ads will be shown during the half time break. Cable still has 24h advertisement channels.

      This is how you end up with that scene in Demolition Man where they’re singing commercials.

      Nice try, Dr. Pepper. If that is even your real name!

        Oh gosh. Did my critique of ads just become an ad?

      I’m gonna be real, I prefer fansville style ads over traditional TV commercials.
