iced depresso (icedquinn@blob.cat)'s status on Monday, 13-Jan-2025 04:03:31 JST iced depresso @mischievoustomato @RustyCrab @phnt @sun i don't want to see ads in general (except for like trade mags where reviews and ads are the point actually)
i'm just saying if you were to say quinn has extreme ownership of advertising and its side effects, making sure clients are actual real companies is probably what i would do to deal with all the attack ads etc -

They're meant to make you think you need to buy something you don't need, they're a form of behavior manipulation, billions of dollars are poured into this industry dedicated to manipulating people. I am radically anti-ad and believe their existence is a human rights violation. -

the real weird thing is why everyone is so keen to push them when subscriptions exist -

the classical music station was like "there's a free meeting at this one place on this date" and i almost went :blobcatwhatsthis:
but yeah no i don't want to see some HR drone's cringe facsimile of a conversation about car insurance like ever
