> slightly-less-obnoxious industry than ads I almost never see people obnoxiously talking about how ads are great. In fact, it's the opposite - constant ad bashing. Whereas with crypto, while you have the skeptics and the haters, there are way more obnoxious fanatics.

I meant that ads are obnoxious to everybody. Whereas with crypto, you can just ignore the subject entirely if you so wish. You won't be shouted at, when you open your digital newspaper to read stuff, that YOU SHOULD TOTALLY GET MORE DOGECOIN!!!

  Ironically, that’s mainly because all ad exchanges ban crypto ads. Google has actually reversed course on this [1] and soon you’ll start seeing crypto ads too. Sadly, I already see tons of crypto related ads on Instagram already. Also, I’m not sure which digital newspaper you refer to, but I see articles about crypto pretty much on a daily basis on most websites.

    You can't have crypto ads without, y'know, ads. QED.

      People like to say ads are useless, and then talk about how they listen to others’ recommendations and blogs and videos, conveniently ignoring that they’re also ads.
