"MoviePass will track people’s eyes through their phone’s cameras to make sure they don’t look away from ads"
Primary Source ↗Incident Details
Remember MoviePass, the completely unsustainable and shady business that allowed people to go see unlimited movies in theaters (until it didn’t)? Well, it’s back. This time they promise you’ll be able to earn cryptocurrency by watching ads, which I guess you can then spend to watch more movies. Not only that, they promise to prevent that pesky issue of people putting their phones down while the ads are playing by using eye tracking to make sure you’re firmly glued to the screen. I wonder if they screen A Clockwork Orange.
