Advertisers brought this on themselves. With their ceaseless push to put ads everywhere, even within articles, this is what you get.
Advertising isn't inherently evil; it can be useful. It can be artistic. It can be educational. those are qualities that make ads appealing.
But if you interrupt me from what I was trying to do, it doesn't matter what the ad is. that's just rude.
Humor is a goto for advertisers, and maybe that works for some people, but for a lot of people it just rolls off.
Tide laundry detergent could show me an ad for getting a stain out using vinegar and baking soda. But instead everything needs to push people towards their products. Their products are the be-all end all. buy buy buy.
And advertisers need to be more selective of who they advertise to and how. The more verzion ads I see, the more I despise them. And if i'm watching a bunch of videos and you show me the same exact ad every time, over the course of weeks, you're a fucking idiot.
In short, this is a good thing. It's a process of evolution. Maybe they'll get their shit together, or invent something worse.
