Seriously, why the fuck has advertising become so incredibly insidious and pervasive in recent years? I can’t go anywhere on the internet and not see ads or a warning to turn off my ad blocker or message telling me to subscribe to view the content. Worse, I can’t even be out in public in the city without having another fucking ad shoved in my face. I was recently walking downtown at 1 am or so waiting on an uber and really enjoying the cool night air, not on my phone or anything, just enjoying the moment, and I saw an insanely bright billboard advertising something.
I feel like ads are just starting to really wear on me. I’m sick of consuming and being told to consume and being manipulated in the death throes of capitalism.
