Haven't seen these but my solution would be just don't watch the video. These ads may be unskippable but they aren't un-watch-something-else-able.
Yet
Riiiiight, someday we'll be riding bikes to generate electricity and our full-wall TVs will penalize us for not looking at ads. But hey, at least we'll be in decent shape, so there's that.
That will be a good thing - you need to spend much time on these bikes to burn off the calories from all the verification cans you are forced to consume.
