- Public bathrooms in China require users to watch an ad to get toilet paper.
- Users can skip the ad by paying 0.5 RMB (~5p).
- The system aims to reduce waste from excessive toilet paper usage.
- Critics argue it's inconvenient and unhygienic if users lack a charged phone or change.
- In 2017, Beijing's Temple of Heaven park used facial recognition to limit toilet paper per person.
- Exceptions were made for urgent needs like diarrhea, handled by staff.
