Looking at old Popular Science magazines, I actually don’t mind ads in the magazine. The whole advertisement business in the era of internet has rotten to the point where you can’t go anywhere on the internet without some fucking analytics script ID’ing you. Fuck advertisement. It’s the cancer of modern society. We need a drastically different model of product/service discovery. I don’t want to see ads when I’m doing something important, I want to see ads when I am need for buying something specific. Back in the day, you could just browse a thick book of Yellow Pages look under the section V: “Vacuum repair services”. Doing the same on the internet will show me ads about buying a vacuum cleaner in every social media platform. I don’t want to be friends with people that are in the advertisement industry.
