    I’ve been seeing clips from Ready Player One recently and this reminded me of the main bad guy’s philosophy on advertising in the OASIS.

    we estimate we can sell up to 80% of an individual’s visual field before inducing seizures

    Can’t help but feeling there’s some parallels there.

      Seems unrealistic. In reality, they’d be asking how often the seizures occur and would figure out if the increased ad revenue from going to 90% would offset any potential lawsuits.
