@arstechnica They really need to tax these buggers for every piece of ad they thrust upon us. It is the only way to stop this shit.
@arstechnica nice, yet also how maddening it takes an actual law to do something like this
Also that there are ads in (often) paid streaming services at all.
@arstechnica so these platforms will automatically roll this out everywhere right? pigs will learn to fly before these corporations do the right thing by default.
