Comment on Consumerism ahhhhh moment
howsetheraven@lemmy.world 5 months agoEvery single ad these days go into a memory black hole. They are so irritating, so invasive, so EVERYWHERE; that I instinctively dissociate from anything in them.
They won’t get my conscious or subconscious attention. All of my large purchases are researched a minimum 2 weeks in advance and anything small is done on a case by case basis (of which I intentionally scrutinize anything I might have “heard of” because I’m aware of the phenomenon. Fuck all ads, they are my enemy.
literally the only ad i can think of off the top of my head is that airline booking site with adorable kittens in stitched airplane suits, because obviously that occupies a significant part of my brain at all times
And i don’t understand how companies fail to realize that cute animals make ads infinitely more appealing, that gives me a reason to maybe actually continue watching it, because i gain something from doing so
I bet you were thinking about some add when writing this.

I literally pay money to not see ads in my (local) streaming services.
The irritation and mental load from dealing with shitty ads is well worth the about 15€ a month I pay to have them removed.
