One of my home monitoring cameras suddenly started placing ad watermarks on my video feed - I shit you not. I feel like obstitricians are going to start slapping ad stickers on newborns bellies as they pull them out soon enough. I hate it. I'm not completely sure what the answer is, but I've always been a proponent of the micropayment idea as a way to navigate digital life with more focus and less dependence on ads but it's not caught on at all because HEY FREE!!
