   @GreenRoc @LeftistLawyer

   Ads are the entire catastrophic opposite of entertaining to me.

   They make me want to claw my ears and eyes off and hurl them through the screen with enough force to deck whoever inflicted this violation upon me.

     Does anyone else find it odd that we call technology designed for no other reason than to manufacture the desire to buy shit we don't need, "entertainment."

     Seems like we should call it brainwashing.

     See the program. Be the program.

     @LeftistLawyer Ads have never been entertaining for me.

     I stopped watching TV over a decade ago (didnt know TV is still functioning somehow).

     EG: Fighting against the Youtube programming trying to shove it's adverts for stuff I cant buy is... a fight for my freedom to watch videos about pretty owls, without seeing obnoxious content about stuff I cant afford anyways.

     Brainwashing indeed, and I'm still trying to cleanse myself from that rotten soap I was forced to digest. More bubbles to pop.
