#42Modern television is insufferable.
Modern television is, in my experience, on-demand, ad-free and of vastly higher quality than the crap I used to "surf channels" on for hours.
Throw a little hand wave to the starboard side, as I'm in the same boat as you. OTOH, I can spare a sympathetic thought for those into live, televised sports even if I don't enjoy the same entertainment.

#43How soon until we see AI-powered adblockers that filter the output of any signal to remove anything that it perceives as an ad?
We've had the ability for DVRs to automatically detect and skip ads for at least a decade now. Dish is the most prominent company that tried it, and immediately got sued by TV networks and had to remove the functionality.

That's already happened ... just look at how many youtube channels have integrated a "and now let's briefly talk about my sponsors" segment in the middle.
This is how ads were in the beginning of television, the characters in the snow would talk about the product.
And to be honest, I mind those a lot less. In fact, on old shows they're an interesting historical look into a society. To the point that they're included as bonus features.

My moral belief is that being blasted with blinding amounts of light amounts to trespass and/or assault, and fully justifies a forceful response against the source of aggression (namely, the billboard). Obviously this is not going to be accepted as a legal argument, but if I'm not worried about the legal repercussions, I feel more than justified in taking matters into my own hands - for example, by cutting power to f…
Would be pretty dank and cyberpunk if someone built an onion-service ADsassination market, where you could put bounties on ugly public-space ads and a decentralized network of spraypaint-drone operators could deface those ads to earn crypto.
* That does sound cyberpunk techno-corporatist-lawless dystopian, but what I think would be infinitely more awesome is getting government regulations and human sentiment all aligned with not having ads in public spaces.

Unless they're on the court, it wouldn't matter. It's not just the color, it's also the position of the players. The graphics are mapped to certain spots on the court, so this only happens if a player wearing the color stands where the graphic is.
"It will only matter when the players wearing these jersey are on the court" So, 100% of the time?
The suggestion was fans wearing cream, so nearly 0% of the time.

#49I hate advertising so much. I would ban it immediately if allowed. It makes society so much worse in every possible measure. http://jacek.zlydach.pl/blog/2019-07-31-ads-as-cancer.html
100% true, only advertising that could be allowed is if the viewer intentionally wants and agrees to consumption.
