People hate ads full stop and tech has amplified them to be there, all the time, following you. Start buying only what you need from small businesses if possible.
Stop fawning over brands and marketing. They don’t like you, they don’t want a conversation, the don’t care if you are a better person. They want your money. Capitalistic is a cancer…don’t feed it.
Agree. I am making a conscious effort to limit my tech to functional and what works for me. If I have to use something like YT I will use adblockers or a client (smartube) if I see an ad anywhere I pretty much block it mentally. I also resist against people trying to usher me to stuff. Can we take your email address? No you can’t!
I’m mentally done with this shit. If really rather go without.
There’s like… one percent of one percent of advertising that has ever been created that actually had some kind of artistic or entertainment merit. Those insane Spongmonkies ads for Quiznos. The H&M ad Wes Anderson did. It’s so vanishingly rare as to not meaningfully count, but it does happen once in a blue moon.
People do not hate ads. People hate shitty ads. Go see how many views a certain epoxy company on Instagram has. I know because I watch every single ad. They’re fucking awesome. I’m the target audience to watch epoxy applied to huge pipes and stuff.

Sun Fizz is my favorite ad ever, and that’s because it makes fun of other ads.
Nope, thats Chuck Testa
