Do you like commercials? And how much are you willing to pay for TV?

If the answers are "no" and "zero", then that's going to affect how much TV you/we watch, even if you/we like the TV shows.

Every time I go to the ATM to get cash it shows me an ad for a service and the options are "Yes" and "No thanks."

I am forced to choose one. I am forced to thank them for showing me an ad before they give me my own money.

We need a simple name for this, like we have for enshittification or shrinkflation.
