China’s latest “smart” public toilets are causing a stir after videos revealed dispensers that release toilet paper only after users watch an ad or pay a small fee.
A viral clip from China Insider shows a woman scanning a QR code and enduring an advertisement for a single strip, with the system charging 0.5 yuan (about $0.07) per use.
Officials say it’s meant to reduce waste following reports of people taking excessive amounts of free paper.
This isn’t the first time China’s high-tech restrooms have sparked debate. In 2017, tourist spots added facial recognition dispensers that limited users to one 60-centimeter strip every nine minutes, later bumped to ten.
Social media backlash to the ad-based setup has been fierce, with many labeling it “dystopian” and planning to bring their own supplies.
