That's a weird cognitive jump.
On the one hand, to answer your direct charge - I absolutely don't mind seeking out and accessing some ads (I've gone to some brands' website or YouTube channel - such as Old Spice -
just to watch their ads before, and I've sought out Superbowl ads to rewatch because they're funny).
On the other hand, as a dialectic note, I find your reasoning to be strange and fallacious (specifically, a fallacy of excluded middle or false dilemma). I don't see any reason why someone must be compelled to seek out things they enjoy instead of enjoying them passively. Phrased another way, it is possible to enjoy things as a passive exercise when they would become tedious or unenjoyable as an active exercise. You don't seem to acknowledge this possibility.
- icebraining 9y agoI absolutely don't mind seeking out and accessing some ads I wasn't doubting you. So do I. I don't see any reason why someone must be compelled to seek out things they enjoy instead of enjoying them passively. Let me guess, you're one of those guys listening to loud music on the bus that everybody despises? In order for you to enjoy content without making any active effort, everyone else must be forced to watch it too. Imposing costs on everyone for a slight personal convenience is generally regarded as anti-social behavior. Phrased another way, it is possible to enjoy things as a passive exercise when they would become tedious or unenjoyable as an active exercise. You don't seem to acknowledge this possibility. I didn't, because that's besides my point.
