Unlike commercials on conventional TV since forever, Peacock's commercials are accompanied by a small yellow circle in the lower left hand corner of the screen which encloses a second-by-second countdown timer showing exactly how long till the commercial ends.
Perhaps it's the participatory gamification that ensues: I try to precisely unmute the TV at the exact second the commercial ends and the show resumes.
Anything that I can gamify immediately becomes more appealing.
What's vexed me for decades is my inability to figure out a way to gamify my dreaded daily run.
I haven't given up trying and I never will.
Wait a sec — what's that song I'm hearing?
