In what scenario would I ever need this.

Ads.

We had a company meeting last week where the presenter linked a YT video and a Wendy's Frosty ad showed immediately after (amateur hour), and people were talking about how they wanted a Frosty. If you could smell the fries, you'd be more likely to actually go to Wendy's for lunch.

So yeah, do not want.
