fuck with the algorithm make it show ads for porno and then they'll stop doing it

I assume they won't allow porns in ads, but you can still get worse stuff than porn, like erectile dysfunction medication ads which causes people around your seat to look at you with sorry eyes.

Yeah, this is going to be hell for flight attendants having to deal with rightfully upset passengers.
