Jared NewmanWould you take a free TV if it constantly ran banner ads beneath everything you watched? https://www.fastcompany.com/90896112/telly-free-tv-with-inescapable-ads
Benj Edwards@Newmy me personally? No, but I could see other people doing it
Guy LeCharles Gonzalez (MOVED)@Newmy I wouldn't, but I can totally see the appeal and suspect a lot of people will be tempted. I'm just not sure how much overlap there is between the demographics that'd be interested and the demographics they want/need to attract. If it bundled in local OTA channels, though, it'd be a little more interesting.
What happens when the main screen is showing commercials, though? 🤔

@Newmy in the late 90’s/early 00’s my family had a PC that did this. My dad got it from freepc.com or something along those lines. It ran banner adds permanently around the bottom and right side of the screen. Company folded within a year or two of us getting it and they gave us directions on how to remove them.
Came with free dial up internet so it could phone home and update the ads and we were required to go online at least one hour a week.
BradPatrick@Newmy Hell no.

I signed up for one after carefully measuring the size of black cardboard I will be placing over the second screen and then just plug in my Xbox.

Adam Miarka@maddox This did cross my mind tbh
Chris Wells@Newmy I know there is an ethical consideration at play here, but what's stopping a user from just covering the bottom screen?
