    What they haven’t realized is paying for living quarters for their tests. Give a homeless person a roof for watching ads all day?

      I don’t think the homeless are a typically sought-after demographic. Maybe for loan sharks?

      I think I could tolerate it for a couple months at most. The problem is that good advertising doesn’t exist very often so it’s all just fucking annoying
