The thing I hate is that all these airline screens usually default to "on", and people tend to leave defaults. I'm a tall person, and can usually see a large number of the screens in front of me. So if I'm on a night flight, even if I don't intend to sleep, the only way to not be blinded by dozens of ads for a few hours is to bring a sleep mask.
They also automatically turn the screens back on repeatedly after you turn them off.
I feel so bad for tall people on planes. It's uncomfortable AF for all of us, but you guys have to become human origami just to sit. It's insane that this shit is legal. I avoid flying as much as possible.

Idk, I'm pretty comfortable on planes, and I'm around 5'8 lol

More to consider when selecting an airline. Greedy fuckers, I hope their stock takes a nosedive thanks to this

So I am going to sit down and the screen will be full of penis enlargement pills? What will all the hot singles in the area think?

For those of you contemplating ways of covering up the ads:
This is the same airline that beat the shit out of that doctor because the airline overbooked the flight. For your own safety, do not cross this airline.
They did what?
"The incident is widely characterized by critics as an example of mishandled customer service."
Made me laugh, that's putting it lightly..
They mishandled the shit out of him.

Nothing a bit of paper/cardboard and a strip of tape can't fix.
Can you turn the screens off? I haven't flown in 5 years, but I just watched stuff off of my tablet instead.
You can, but I've stopped ever using them because the screen completely stops for every. Single. Announcement.
And now you can have your phone out for take off and landings, so yea no thanks I'll stick with my device that keeps working when they're making some random announcement about drinks or some shit
In my experience yes, but some planes ive notice they turn back on each time there is an announcement, so depending on how many it can be annoying. Eother way advertising is a cancer that plagues our lives more and more.
