So long as they allow users to opt-out from receiving headlines, its a non-issue

Funny thing is I just watched Ready Player One on Max, and the villain's entire plan is to bombard the users with ads to make money.

So basically news ads in movies and tv shows even for the literal AD-FREE subscriptions.

This is how you straight up encourage piracy and they will lose customers over this.

My guess is once its implemented, we get a pop-up that says Hey, this is a thing. Wanna use it? and thats it.

Until the next news headline after that:

"CNN live stream add-in bombs; WB/Discovery to test mandatory CNN tickers on bottom center screen every hour".

In theory, this isn't a bad idea. There's no tornado warnings when you're binging some damn thing on streaming, for example.
In practice, it's all going to be sensationalist bullshit.

This is CNN we are talking about. They think everything is breaking news.
