People annoyed shrill commercials

Argh! There's no chance I'll ever buy a jumbo taco-burger watching this is a waste of my time and their money.

But one day, a senator had a brilliant idea

What if we could figure out the odds of a person buying a product due to a commercial multiply it by cost, and then allow consumers to pay that amount to skip ads

The idea was presented to congress who then mandated every company offer ad skipping

Qdos of purchase 50,000

Cost of product $5

Cost to skip =55 50,000

00.0001 o deefworks $ products ad-skips

There was a brief glorious period when companies reaped a wealth of micropayments and consumers never watched ads finally I can watch this show about which restaurant is best without constantly being marketed to

But the companies soon rea) ized their main revenue had shifted to ad-skips

I

Specifically, commercials nobody liked

This commercial showing tasty burgers is skipped 30% of the time, while this one with the annoying animated dog \s skipped 60% of the time

Since all businesses now sold ad skips competition was fierce commercials wen rapidly from annoying to infuriating to horrifying

Daddy, why is that man eating kittens?

I don't

Buy pepsi

Within six monthg. Every ad was just seizure-inducing light flashes and the sound twelve year old girls make when they see a favorite musician in person

Eeeeeeee wal-mart ebeeeeer

Skip skip.

Were purchased that even onsumer hatred grew only necessities slight luxuries were forced to jack u prices to balance out the drop odos of purchase one hot dog one dollar

With ketchup.

Four hundred trillion dollars. Plus dollar

It's been two years now. Clothing is no longer made, homes are not repaired, and food sacks of food meal. All shows are entirely commercial and the commercials are just a laming baby skull barking ethnic slurs

Fortunately humans excellent adapters bv the reached a dystopic chimax we were with it

Hey, didja catch the all baby

Aww, yeah, I love all-despising baby skull

Night?
