I mean forget a hypothetical copypasta, somebody deadass patented forcing people to say ad slogans: https://preview.redd.it/ggwu7pq5h61y.jpg?auto=webp&s=7e12417...

If y'all remember those "solve media" captchas there were a few years back, forcing people to watch an ad then type a slogan? Yeah this would def happen.
