Force some kind of tax per second of observed ad per person.

To clarify, I don't mean paying people to watch ads.

I mean that as consumers watching ads, even inadvertibly, is time consuming. Time is equal money, therefore We should be paid for hour time.

But usually we watch ads in exchange for getting something, like a website, for free. I should get paid for watching youtube videos of for looking up a recipe online?
