This is like really horrific but if I'm being honest, it's not going to happen. I think LG did a patent where you had to shout the brand being displayed on ads to skip an ad— and they never did that. This is probably a good thing so that other companies can't use it for a few hundred years

It was Sony, which really surprised me. This definitely sounds like an LG thing.
