I'm working thru a marketing cert via Google rn (working with the enemy) and I just learned how many ads we're exposed to on a daily basis!

Any guesses?

Zero but I’m neither average nor American.

The odds of that are very near zero. They're including things like brand names and logos as ads. The Lemmy logo itself would be considered an ad

They're not getting numbers in the thousands by only including intrusive ads

That’s rather silly. Might as well include road signs “advertising” places to go and how far away they are.

Well yeah signs that give the direction to the nearest restaurant or to a shop would be an add really

Jokes on you, there are ads as posts on lemmy.

Bots are everywhere.

I'll see 3-5 digital ads, on my phone at lunch in 20 mins, everything else is 100% ad free. I grew up with 80s tv commercials, nothing affects me now, lol, I also haven't had cable in, woah, 25 years Also not from the states
