My local gas stations just play ads on the payment screen. There was a mute button (usually top right, even if it was unlabled) but some have disabled that. I keep a note of those who do and have stopped going there.
Remember folks, Advertisment is theft and vote with your wallet.
For EV it‘s not a thing, is it?
No because you just plug in and walk off or sit in your car, I can't think of any sane person that would spend money on advertising on an EV charger
It could end up similar to the gas pump where whatever payment system is there will play ads before you pay for the electricity. You can even pay extra to skip the ads.
Subscription LIFE.
Low income people are starved for knowledge (can't afford college) but drowning in information (can't avoid ads).
I hate this timeline.
