This is definitely on the horizon and future generations won’t even be aware of a time when you didn’t pay a subscription for every aspect of life. (TikTok screencap)

Eye movement trackers will only count the ads you actually watch.
New gig economy side hustle arises, ad-watcher. I'll come into your home and watch all your unskippable ads for $35 an hour plus tip
Won't work if they have a serialization scheme, which all these manufacturers are doing these days, uniquely mapping the person to their fridge (its 2050 remember, everyone is neuro-chipped uniquely identified when interfacing with everything).
Additional members who can use the fridge $20/month, but you can map 3 members for $50/month (WOW best value!), and if multiple people watch the ad simultaneously, they can pool their ad time towards the countdown!
But only members from the same household are allowed. (like streaming services want these days)
Also, if you want your freezer to work, you need to pay an additional €20 for the premium plus package. Don't see this as bad because now you can cancel that function during winter and activate it during the summer. So only pay for it when you need it. (the argument BMW gave for paying monthly for enabling stuff like seat heaters. For fuck sake, you already have the function in your car, it's just paywalled)
Of course there will be a weird bug whereby sometimes one of the people will not be counted
The required brain chip app monitors attentional neural networks while stimulating the image centers to display ads. Common side effects are nausea, vomiting, over throwing the state, and vertigo.
You also need to purchase a minimum of 60% of what the ads promote otherwise you clearly didn't pay attention and your fridge will stay locked or starts heating instead of cooling.
