Some new forms of IRL ads do interrupt your flow.

Examples I've encountered:

* In a mall touchscreen navigation kiosk, an ad is shown when you first wake up the device by touching it.

* At multiple points in the McDonald's self-order touchscreen kiosk flow.

* On Starbucks screen menus, the whole menu is periodically replaced with a video ad, forcing you to wait until its end to finish making your choice.

> You also don’t have ads on at the airport timetable screen.

In the biggest international airport in my country, there are now periodical Covid-19 "info spots" interrupting the display of timetables, check-in desk and gate information screens.
