That a few companies use investor capital to screw customers and service providers alike says pretty much nothing about Silicon Valley. It is sad this guy saw an ad that offended him but why did he watch it in the first place?
- ohnotthatguy 10y agoOne of the innumerable problems with advertising is that you can't "unsee" it. For instance: can you unread this reply to your comment? To suggest that it is the responsibility of an individual to ignore advertising in their environment, is to suggest that it is their responsibility to not pay attention to their surroundings, or read any signs. I think it is a perfectly natural reaction to see something that you understand to be a sardonic misrepresentation of a reality, and respond negatively.
