Mr. Worf, prepare photon torpedoes…
Don’t use any website that has messages like that. I don’t block ads because I don’t wait to buy new products. I block a wide range of content that’s privacy invasive and sometimes malious
I find it super weird that the only time we see any in-universe ads (not counting Lower Decks) it’s:
- A dead planet where an arms dealer used to operate and their holographic sales program was still running
- A single TV ad made by Quark on DS9 (that he illegally broadcast by hacking the communications system or something)
I would think that every Ferengi ship would just be a giant holographic billboard for Ferengi products and services. We even see Ferenginar a few times and there are no ads anywhere. Not even in the FCA building. But they do make a point of showing off how you have to pay for everything; including visiting a person’s home.
“Welcome to our home. Place your imprint on the legal waivers and deposit your admission fee in the box by the door. Remember, my house is my house as are its contents.”
It would be absolutely on brand for a ferengi to have a 30 second ad before each communique.
All Ferengi coms really should be an ad-encrusted nightmare: trailer before session, banners and popups during, ad breaks, and then a trailer at the end. Oh and a prompt, either manual or automated, to dismiss all ads for a subscription fee or an expensive one-time fee.
But with that recent paywall joke in LD, maybe that’s on the way?
