How do you avoid that brain hackery when it comes to commercials(TV, radio, etc), billboards, ads in magazine's/newspapers, and hundreds of other sources?
I get being uncomfortable with trackers, but the mind of paranoia associated with the passive and active effects of ads is a joke considering this shit has been a common part of modern society for a long time.
- Nursie 11y ago>> commercials(TV, radio, etc), I don't watch them, at all. I have streaming services. My tv isn't actually even attached to an aerial at the moment. And I mostly listen to BBC radio stations (I'm in the UK). >> billboards We don't have quite so many of those in the UK as there are in the US, but yes, they are hard to avoid. >> ads in magazine's/newspapers I don't really read paper ads any more >> but the mind of paranoia associated with the passive and active effects of ads is a joke considering this shit has been a common part of modern society for a long time. It's not really paranoia, I just prefer to avoid being manipulated. It's genuinely possible to avoid nearly all advertising now. I like this and I find life without the constant commercial intrusion and associated information overload quite good.
