Chromecast with Google TV is now serving full-screen, auto-playing Chicken Tender Wrap ads - eviltoast

Reddit users thevincentasteroid and MMD3_ posted about an auto-playing video ad (with sound) on the home screen. The ad is for Chicken Tender Wraps from Carl’s Jr. When it begins auto-playing, it pushes all the other UI elements out of focus and goes almost full-screen, returning to the home screen after it has played through once.

    It’s not even “apps only” since they still show sponsored shows at the top. Probably only a matter of time before more ads worm their way in.
