MODERATORS
Here you guys are arguing about the color of skin an actor has in an advertisement. When you should be arguing for the banning of all advertising. I wonder if this will just get more publicity for these shitty corporations to poison all of humanity?
advertisements are brainwashing. think about it: if a company spends $1K on advertisement, it expects to make at least as much through increased sales. That's the money they steal from you.
Either ads don't work on me and so it's good for the advertisement companies when I block them and don't waste bandwidth, or they do work on me and in that case it's fucking brainwashing and can fuck right off.
Adblocking is always moral.
Add a lot of zeros to that.
Most companies spend a lot more on advertisement than developing their product.
it was an example, not meant to be the final number, but yeah, excessive advertisement wastes resources and is a blight on society.
I always roll my eyes whenever I see a literal commercial taking up all the space in the headlines due to some fake controversy. Not only does that give the corporation that made it everything they want times a thousand (thus counter-effective for all the people allegedly angry over it), its also 9 times out of 10 used to distract from something that actually matters.
