No advertisements or spam. This is an instance rule and the only way to live.
A diamond store in Canada has horrible ads with a man screaming in them. (all Canadians know who I am talking about already) I turn their ads off or switch radio stations when I hear them. If I was going to buy diamond jewellery I would go out of my way to buy from the store that is the furthest away from any of there stores even if it cost more. I would buy any mineral other than diamonds though.
I guess I'm the rare lucky canadian who has no idea what you're talking about.
That makes two of us but I only listen to Radio-Canada radio as a source of entertainment that isn't on my computer with ads blocked 🤷
Neither do I. I don't have cable and the only time I listen to the radio is when my alarm goes off in the morning (and that's set to CBC.)
I'm sad to say that those advertisements worked on me. When a young man needs to buy an engagement ring, name recognition, albeit in a negative light, got me to spend money with them. I just went to the first place that popped in my head.
I haven't listened to local radio in years but you have just unlocked that yell from my memory.
I guess it's good in the sense as they have been able to cut through the mass volume of media we are flooded with daily.
