I do wonder if they were to offer exactly that - a version with and another without ads, what would happen. This is not without precedent after all. I paid more for my Kindle so as not to have to be advertised to when I want to read.
I believe the tech being used very literally scans the stuff being shown on screen. I have read about this tech in the past. It also raises privacy concerns, as if you watch old family movies or some such, the TV could be beaming metadata of that back to the mothership for analysis. Creepy times we live in.
I was proud of my JTV channel. I actually used to vlog and chat to people. They regularly featured me too. I wonder how much I could have made in today’s market..
I’ve worked my ass off every opportunity I have gotten to do so. It certainly hasn’t made my life any better. It has shown me that those in charge rather like those below them working hard for no benefit whatsoever however.
I’m sure some fair better than others. Not so much in the lab!
