Then I can just put ads on in the background while I'm cooking my dinner to save up ad bucks.

I guess the solution is to use some technology to ensure that the viewer is watching the ads, like in Black Mirror S01E02.

There are simpler solutions like

Maximum ad balance = 3 ad bucks

Watching an ad requires clicking the watch button, so you can't queue them up.

People can walk away, minimize or block the ad even now.

That's probably fine. It drops the number of people who could idle ads from "approximately everyone" to "only people who know how to and want to set up an AHK script/other macro."
