(parodical) YouTube popup:

Going to pee during the ad break violates YouTube's Terms of Service

  • It looks like you selfishly left the room while our ads were playing. Don't you know that by watching youtube you entered a CONTRACT?!
  • We killed the competition by operating at a loss for a decade. We paid good money to be the only game in town.
  • Now that there are no other options, we can start to make that money back however we like. So turn your webcam on so that our advertisers know you're paying attention.

(Two buttons, first one suggested)

Let us program your brain

Foot the bill directly

The thing with Google isn't that they removed the "don't be evil" mantra they held for 2 decades.

It's that in the 5 years since officially removing that mantra, they've done their best to be the most cartoonishly evil they can be.

Forget YouTube.

Sony owns a patent for a system/concept that needs you to audibly name the company/product the advertisement is for to continue at the end of the advertisement.

With that power comes great responsibility. If they implement it, they are evil. If they don’t use it but have fees so high that others can not use it without going bankrupt, they are less evil.

On the bright side they haven't used it and now no one else can.

In the center of the pizza, the toppings appear to make a sad face, as if the person who drew the artwork for the patent felt bad about drawing artwork for such a shitty patent idea.

Well I suppose AI generated speech will come in handy
