Yes, this instance is definitely the wrong place to ask, but maybe I’ll be surprised.
I hate commercial ads. I consider them intolerable and violating. I’m far from alone in this perspective (see: famous Banksy quote, and subvertising + related cultures). It’s one of the rawest forms of exploitative manipulation.
So surely you can understand my confusion whenever I see people just watching ads on their phone until they finish, or even watching ads on television until their show starts again. Come on, just do something else for 4 minutes (most channels run two 4 minute segments per half hour, that why your downloaded TV episodes are 22 minutes each instead of 30)
Is there a more meaningful answer than “laziness”?
I try to get people to get on ublock but most boomers truly dgaf it’s so odd
I straight up just install it on any pc I touch. I don’t care if you don’t want it.
Based I should start doing that
As one of the guys who just rawdogs unfiltered internet, I like to think im doing everyone a favour. The websites get that per-impression revenue and the ad block crowd have one less person on their lifeboat.
None of these advertisers are going to get my money because I have none to spend. I cant even afford the luxuries I want. Im looking forward to payday in 2 weeks time so I can buy whatever snacks are going supercheap in my local discount shop
They love their advertisements, that’s how they know how to vote for the worst thing possible and the ensure the taxpaying peasant is crushed firmly between paying them rent and paying them tax to fund more P&O Cruises.
