Imagine this: you walk into a public restroom in China, but instead of just grabbing toilet paper… you have to scan a QR code and watch an ad first 😅. Only then will the machine dispense a tiny sheet of tissue. Don’t feel like watching? You can also pay 0.5 RMB (about $0.07) for a bit more paper 💸. This system is designed to cut down waste — some people would abuse free paper before. Now, it’s all about “watch an ad or pay a coin.” Would you sit through an ad for free toilet paper, or just drop the 0.5 yuan? 👀 . . .

You’re kidding, right? Just make the restroom paid…50¢ or whatever the equivalent reasonable price is there. Cash or tap. Not make it impossible to wipe your ass if you have a dead battery, bad connection, no phone, whatever. Also needing to visit a site or download/use an app and being forced to watch yet more ads is BS.
