Leave the thing on the ground so the next car kills it properly. Nonconsensual ads are digital rape. It is the same moral scope as buying and selling a person's digital presence to manipulate and exploit them is digital slavery.

Any company with an advertising budget for spamming and wasting my time is clearly indicating that their competition has a product with better value and reputation. Ads are public service announcements of what to never purchase.

I will not watch ads for anything at all. My time is not subject to that nonsense. I'll go read or do other things.

Yup, but it stays shut off until the next person pays or uses the button. It is just a microswitch on a flap.
