The whole idea that it violates the terms of service of a company to not let them show things on my screen without my consent is insane.

Something something contract of adhesion something something. It is functionally a term of service to watch the whole body of content as a condition of watching any of it.

It’s like if every time you went to the grocery store, the employees held you down and force fed you a free sample, then banned you from the store when you started running away from them.

This effectively used to be how people would sell Time Share rentals. You would “win” a “free vacation” to a destination that hosted the time share. Then, in order to check in you needed to sit through a sales pitch that only ended when you agreed to purchase the unit you’d allegedly been awarded as a prize.

If you tried to leave the sales pitch prematurely, you were ejected from the venue.
