    Advertising is scum and I don’t understand why we allow it all.

    It does not help the economy to distract consumers all day as much as possible, all it does is let companies compete on the basis of who can spend the most on advertising or who can hire the most manipulative advertisers rather than who can make the best product.

      Everyone thinks, “But advertising doesn’t work on me.” That’s why it’s still legal.

      People see pictures of North Korea and say “wow its so eerie something is wrong and i cant figure it out.”

      Its that there are no ads everywhere. People are conditioned to be comforted by disengeuous promises from ads, and are scared when there arent business signs everywhere.

      Its entirely achievable to have no ads. Ads are bad for everyone.
