Using adblocker shielded me from how fuckin weird ads are now. I saw one for some gambling mobile game (I guess that’s legal now?) and it’s like they know their target audience is fuckin stupid so most of the ad was just a non-verbal demonstration of how iPhone game make person happy

@swaggboi I'm so fucking insulated from ads that I have a visceral knee-jerk reaction to try to find a remote control any time I hear a television in my vicinity. -

@prettygood @swaggboi when I go to my family's they have the TV on all the time and they try to ask me what I thought of recent ad
Didn't you think that ad was funny? Weird? Annoying? Like idk I'm not even watching the program the ads are in an entire different realm of perception honestlyprettygood likes this. -

@Paultron @swaggboi I too come from a "television as background noise" family and I cannot tell you how much I despise it. I can't be in the room with that shit during family events. I just go a room where TV isn't, you can talk to me there. -
