DARING SOUL—Forced Advertising

Have you ever wanted to read the news, only to see the website before you auto-scroll down?

Have you ever wanted to read the news, only to see the website before you auto-scroll down before going back up, almost like a theater screen. Have you ever seen timed ads which block your viewing for 30 seconds or so, forcing you to digest an advertisement?

Well, for me personally - these forced advertising tactics create a subconcious blacklist, making me much LESS interested to purchase or support the given product - as they have indirectly taken a few seconds of my personal viewer-freedom away.

I really wish and would like to create an advertising model wherein ads are not crammed down one's throat but instead offer a luxurious escape that is talented and entertaining.
The Super Bowl commercials do just this & I like that.
