United Airlines is personalizing in-flight marketing as the carrier seeks to cash in on passenger data.

    I am just so, so tired of being constantly inundated with being told to CONSUME.

    And I’m sure this in no way will invade people’s privacy.

    “Hmm, why is the anti-queer politician sitting next to me being served dozens of male underwear ads? Hmmmm…”

    “Why is my daughter receiving ads for newborn diapers? Hmmm…”

    “Why is my neighbor receiving ads for anger management? Hmmm…”

      Why is my neighbor receiving ads for anger management?

      He probably gets aggressive when seeing too many ads

    This should count as violation of human rights. You’re chained to the seat for hours and have no other option than look at this screen or force your eyes closed. Holy shit, people should get really mad. Flashing ads on a screen you don’t look at directly are still very annoying, even if you look on your phone.

      I wasn’t aware they glued your eyelids and head directly facing the screen

          You can literally not watch things if you don’t want to.

          Read a book.

    For those of you contemplating ways of covering up the ads:

    This is the same airline that beat the shit out of that doctor because the airline overbooked the flight. For your own safety, do not cross this airline.

      I got screeched at for covering up a super bright blinking light on a red eye. Their FAs are next level stupid.

        “If you don’t like it don’t fly”

        Seriously just shut up.

        Edit: LMAO just saw your other comment where you actually said this sincerely. You’re a parody of yourself.
