    Weren’t there already fuel pumps which started pumping only after showing an ad?

      Most gas pumps in the US just constantly loudly blare ads (and “news” that is also ads) on screens with no way to mute it. I’m not sure if that is what you’re describing or if you mean some other possibly worse variety.

        I’m not sure about the fuel pumps. But I have seen cash machines that played ads before I could use them. I started to avoid them. Luckily I don’t need to use cash anymore.
