I'm okay IF the ads were only from novels of my liking. Never gonna happen though...

Hmmm, yeah, see? This is why they shouldn't be allowed to call the ads they have now, "personalized" when they're really not.

"unfortunately your In-Flight Engagement Actions ™️ did not meet the requirements to qualify you for in flight perks such as entertainment and meals"

"Please ensure you are looking directly at the screen while ads are playing to accumulate In-Flight Engagement Actions ™️"

Coming soon to an airline near you.

WTF man, I pay for the tickets and now I have to watch ads???

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

We paid for cable and streaming services too. They'll milk us to dust, then run ads on the remaining pile.

I guess the best way now is to download a 4K movies onto a laptop and bring it with you on your trip

ability to reach engaged customers

Not sure that being stuck to a spot in a tube you can't just escape (and easily live) from is the same as "engaged".

I'm going to bring tape and construction paper to cover it up. Double sided sticky tape

Skip the construction paper, just use a magazine

This is why you bring tape and a few pieces of paper in your carry-on
