Im So Tired

I’m so tired

Of seeing ads creep in

More and more

Everywhere

Things you paid for ad free? Ads now. Not just one—2 or more, some minutes long. Because someone realized they could charge more for no ads and still make money off you twice.

One more second at a time, one more webpage, one more surface, one more “maybe later,” more and more and more until i cant go two hours outside or online without having some kind of ad shoved in my face, choking out the presence of anything else, anything thats NOT an ad. Like an invasive weed. Capitalist kudzu

The thing is, they don’t even WORK. The more i see an mass-beamed ad I’m forced to watch the more i simply find myself hating whatever the ad is for. The more tone deaf, weird, gimmicky, or badly written it is the more i hate it. The more i never want to buy that thing simply so i don’t ever have to hear its name again.

Like this cant be good for us, right? Why is it ok to subject people to constant advertising? We aren’t made for this. When do we get to have regulations on advertising? At what point does the creep stop?

I thought I needed a new laptop but nope, youtube is slowing down your PC if you have adblock on on any open tab...

I'm fed up with "maybe later".
