    I’ve been cutting every piece of software that shows me ads out of my life. I basically just have Lemmy and streaming services now. It’s pretty great, but now if I’m somewhere and I see or hear an ad I get extremely annoyed.

      The lemmy post about them feeling gross was relatable. Like everyone’s so fake enjoying [product] and you’re just watching asking "how does this convince anyone to buy [product]

        Doesn’t everyone feel this way about ads? I don’t feel like the advert algorithms ever get a good lock on me. On the few occasions I’ve gotten adverts it has been for things like “Visit the UAE” or “Visit Dubai” and a lot of pregnancy and feminine hygiene related stuff.

        I’m a gay man. Pretty sure I’d get stoned to death in Dubai/UAE, and pregnancy is just not on the menu for me.

        This is me with those stupid “Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx” ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).

        To their credit, they’ve stopped claiming they’re cheaper than groceries

        Bruh it’s seriously starting to look like that’s how I’m gonna do shit from now on. Streaming services are getting enshittified like crazy.

      i love sports so unfortunately it’s being injected into my eyeballs every game everywhere

        Yeah, I’ve noticed it’s gotten really bad. I’m not a sports fan myself, but I’ve tried watching NFL with my brother, and it’s borderline unwatchable due to the sheer amount of ads.

    Even getting ads about something I talked about is bad enough.

    That’s also the reason I regulary scream “hookers and cocaine” into my phone.

      I scream hookers and cocaine into my phone too, but it’s usually because I’m ordering hookers and cocaine.

        That’s good. Someone’s gotta keep those CIA honeypot workers employed.

    How is “you get ads about something you talked about” 🙂 ?

    This should be “you get ads about something you talked about”:

    Image of sad “Mr. Incredible” from “The Incredibles.” (Roughly the same as the right-most image in the original post.)

    “You get ads about something you thought about”:

    “Gorefield” image. A grotesquely mutated giant Garfield tells Jon creepily “let me help you jon.”

        Imagine they can just adjust the price, if they think you’re willing to pay more or wealthy

    Excuse me, may I target you with some ads about a movie? I heard it’s got some pretty good reviews!
