  • Everyone here is so passionately hating ad’s. I haven’t felt that upset about ad’s since I was a teenager back in like 2004.

    I use adblocker for my browser cause I don’t want spyware/malware. But watching TV ad’s is interesting to me. I keep seeing comments about people being complete idiots who just settled and they just take it from the advertisers…

    That couldn’t be farther from the truth for someone like me. I enjoy nostalgia a lot. So I got a live tv package with regular cable tv channels and there are ad’s. I did this on purpose though. I am not some idiot who has been brainwashed. I just find advertising interesting in general.

    Seems like a lot of commenters here would think of me as some kind of monster. Why, I’m not sure. I guess cause ad’s are some kind of big bad we all have to fight against?

    Someone here mentioned that people work on those ad’s and I think that’s part of why I enjoy them. Because technically, that’s often someone’s artwork. I’m in favor of more animated commercials too.

    But I get it. Consumerism = bad.

    Just feels like more like “no fun allowed”
