      For decades, if I happen to hear ads playing on radio or something, i literally stick my fingers in my ears and go LALALALA until it stops or I have left.

      You’re not selling me SHIT today, I will never be part of your brainwashing scheme.

      I am willing to die on that hill so help me god.

        I feel like it’s turning into a genuine schism in our society. The “it’s fine, I just deal with it”s and the “I swear to fucking god I’ll burn it all down before I see/hear a single goddamn ad”s.

        The Time Machine needs to be remade with this in mind.

        I just switch it off. If its not my device my interest in what ever was on immediately shuts down and I go do something else.

        Like a comedy show is on the TV at a relatives house and I walk by, its entertaining and I sit down to watch with them. Oh adverts, off I go then.

        I listen to or see and enjoy the adverts, then I don’t buy their products. They spent that money advertising at me, and get nothing.

        Do you know how many car adverts I’ve seen on TV in my life? Hundreds.

        I can’t even drive.

          The reason why ads are such a big business is because they work on everyone, even those who say they’ll go out of their way to not use the brand they saw ads for.
