This should count as violation of human rights. You’re chained to the seat for hours and have no other option than look at this screen or force your eyes closed. Holy shit, people should get really mad. Flashing ads on a screen you don’t look at directly are still very annoying, even if you look on your phone.

I need to start a business selling rectangular shaped covers for these displays. I’ll even make one that serves as a holder for an iPad, so you can substitute your own screen.

I fold the flight safety manual and hang it over the screen with a tab, inserted into the folding gap above the screen.

In my experience, that’s only temporary. The screen will always wake up again on United flights.
