Gary M. Zalewski is listed as the inventor. He is listed on 99 patents, several of which are related to increasing advertising proliferation and penetration. He's basically a driver of enshittification. My favorite was "System and method for taking control of a system during a commercial break". Can't have the plebs changing channels!

I looked him up on LinkedIn and he looks exactly like you'd imagine. Fuck you, Gary. Fuck you.
