Ads are a form of brainwashing if you ask me. I've been able to avoid most of them for years by ad blocking and staying clear of TV. Just looking at the shit regular television watchers buy and consume, it really seems like ads warped their sense of reality. They do it by normalizing a lifestyle that fits their product, and through constant exposure people start believing it. Filling the subconsciousness with lingering desires for fake experiences. Its ridiculous and harmful.
- peakaboo 5y agoI almost never see ads either. Ad blocker on Firefox, and not watching regular TV. When I sometimes come across ads anyway, they seem like children stories or cartoons...

- matheusmoreira 5y agoCompletely agree. I saw someone here describe ads as mindhacking and I loved it. These advertisers are attempting to literally hack our minds, modify our thoughts and behavior patterns, create associations between brands, images, ideas. They present zero information to the reader, you can't trust anything they say due to conflicts of interest. I don't want them to succeed. I want them gone.
