Thst article has been taken down, i found it here

https://metro.co.uk/2025/09/17/dystopian-toilets-wont-give-loo-roll-unless-watch-advert-first-24189061/

i suspect because its shit journalism and a nothingburger, another look what i saw on instagram, i am a reporter

the article alos suggests this is to stop people taking the piss so to speak with how much they take and use generally

so while i don't agree, yes i can imagine this, toilets need up keep, this is a way to manage it, there are plenty of places were you must pay to use a toilet, and there are plenty of out of order free toilets

That seems perfectly reasonable to me. We don’t really even get public washrooms here in North America.
