Nope. Any service that would ever do that is instantly a no-go. I’d stop using a smartphone before I’d put up with that.

I hope this idea is patented by a patent troll who has no intention of licensing it out for a reasonable cost...
Stop giving them ideas.
It was in Black Mirror years ago.
what's black mirror?
It's what happens when you scorch glass without shattering it
It's a British TV anthology series similar to The Twilight Zone, but most of the episodes are about technologic dystopias
They've already had this one, I guarantee it.
No ads, no masters.
There's never been a worthwhile server with unskippable or unblockable ads.
This is exactly why I stopped watching Twitch. It was the only service I tolerated ads on. Until they hit a point where the frequency and number of ads were just unbearable and I haven't opened the site since.
Like one person uses them responsibly, like specifically for bathroom breaks, forces them at specific times so people don't miss out on content.
Twitch also requires you to do a certain number of ads per hour/amount of ad time per hour in order to hit the partnership levels for decent pay. Otherwise, IIRC, Twitch puts their own ads in and the streamer doesn't receive any revenue from the ads.
I think Thor over at Pirate Software did a video on it back when that whole "Twitch Adpocalypse" drama was happening.
Yeah, the issue is that if you don’t run ads, Twitch will just put their own in before your stream starts. And this absolutely kills any sort of discoverability for your channel; If new viewers have to watch 90 seconds of ads before they can even see your stream, they’ll just bail.
So for the sake of growing your channel, it’s actually better to run ads. Because then your viewers aren’t immediately blasted by a ton of unskippable ads as soon as they start your stream.

That's when I'd put my "smart" phone in the toaster and go dust off the Nokia 3310
I'll quit using anything that does that.
It's your government issued app, required to access services like hospitals and social security.

At that point, retro gaming is where it’s at, or piracy, or board games, basically ANYTHING else is better than that.
Sadly it does feel we are very close to this… 😢
This is where you write a companion app to load the ad in a separate instance while feeding it false camera input data and continue watching in peace.

We will just have sketchy apps we download happily that trick the phone into thinking we are looking, further bloating them.
I don't know if this is real but if it is, this method of forced watching something you are not interested in guarantees to create negative emotions towards that brand.
That's how they get all of the Luigi's.
Yeah but the C suite is so far removed from reality they don't know, or don't care to know about it. It's not like you have much of a choice anyhow. They've bought up the competition, drove out the mom and pop shops. Their mentality is "yeah, but what are you gonna do about it?"

How cute of them to think that they'll have access to camera or that I got a camera in the first place
Well, that's certainly one way to reduce our screen time. I've got shelves of neglected books that need attention.
I would just stop using whatever the service is. For as long as I can that is. Not long before our new dictatorship might force us to watch ads for crucial services.
