A lot of journalists, at least historically, wanted to do this. Unfortunately they’ve been more and more kneecapped over time by news companies either pushing for a bias, or for clicks.

In that case the ads are video only, no clicking on them, including to skip or anything else. So it would be detecting that trying to change where you are in the video doesn’t change anything (and exclusively playing via your 3 second buffer)

These cameras are now recording lawn signs as well now, which tends to be a bit more of a broad array of intelligence.

Hilariously the issue was just a setting change in the update, that you can easily change via a command option. They saw thing didn’t work, and didn’t read the change log at all before asking to pay a one time fee to guarantee it be maintained for them.
