I just wasn't ready for it to get here so soon. https://www.thegamer.com/moviepass-eye-tracking-ads/amp/ The MoviePass 2.0 app is set to launch this summer, and will sustain itself using microcurrency and ads. However, unlike ads on any other platform, you will be forced to actually watch them, as they'll only play when your eyes are looking at the screen. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Some service I'm never going to use implements shitty policy mmk then It's less that this is some huge blow in general, since MoviePass was basically shut down anyway, and more that once companies start dipping their toe in the water I expect more to follow. If MoviePass is the only company to ever try this then at the end of the day it's no big deal, but you'd have to be crazy to think that other companies with mobile apps aren't eyeing the idea and wondering how they can use it in their own product. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

AlCalavicci 02/11/22 12:54:05 PM #27:	For those asking, moviepass was an app/service that allowed you to pay $9.99 a month, and then go to the movie theater and see however many movies you wanted within that month (at participating theaters). They shipped you a movie pass debit card, and you'd check-in at the theater with the app, then use your debit card to pay for admission. Your $9.99 paid to moviepass that month covered however many movies you wanted to watch (until they started trying to limit it due to their business model collapsing). It was really fucking great for the 3-6 months where it was at it's peak.
