You know what would be terrible? Terrible in a sort of dystopian, capitalism-run-amok sort of way? Imagine buying a brand-new, fancy, premium-grade car. From an automaker with a respected name. Like, say, BMW. This is a machine with some status! Let’s say it costs, oh, $61,500, and you’re paying, what, about $1300 a month? Something […]
What an awful “premium” brand. They’re the same ones trying for subscription access to heated seats, remote start, or driver assistance features among others.
If you willingly paid a premium price for a car where there’s a subscription to use built-in features that even “non-premium” brands have, then are ads on your screen really going to be a dealbreaker?
Tech companies do something called A/B testing where they will release a “feature” such as Ads to a segment of the user base and not to the others to see how they respond to decide if they want to release it to everyone, so yes in many instances we do live in parallel realities.

Boom, feature.
I leased a BYD seal for the last few weeks as an extended test drive and it has adverts on the screen you use to change the climate control so…
Picture? I tried searching for an example online and couldn’t find one
This is much more acceptable when the product itself is cheap. See also: “smart” TVs for a hundred bucks.
it may be 100x more acceptable, but 100 times 0 is still 0.
You’re lying.
Dunno why, but it’s kinda lame
Adverts for BY D own products are still adverts.
Truth hurts?
Ok you do you.
The adverts that I have never once seen when I drive my car?
Pretty cool how we live in some parallel reality
Or, you could just be full of shit

What a strange thing to not believe someone about.
