From like 15 years ago. If they were gonna do it they would have done it by now.
I mean, Telly is giving away TVs that have a camera and second screen to play ads. Sony might not think they could get away with it a decade ago, but consumers seem to slowly accept more bullshit over time so I could definitely see their calculus changing in the future.
Oh it has a second screen… have to answer ~100 questions about your viewing habits to get it… so they must only ship to likely profitable demographics. Yeah pretty much hate it :D
Yeah it's awful, I really hope they fail but I'm not entirely sure they will. Most people who sign up are probably pretty good advertising targets.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):
