Man, I try to explain the diseased nature of the modern advertising and people look at me like I'm crazy. But look at TV/radio broadcasts. Look at the streets

Man, I try to explain the diseased nature of the modern advertising and people look at me like I'm crazy.
But look at TV/radio broadcasts. Look at the streets you walk on. The websites you browse. It's literally everywhere, and its only purpose is to catch your eye to make you feel like you need to buy stuff. And they will stop at nothing to achieve that, including making you feel inadequate or abusing your weaknesses.
And in the last 15 years, we've let these unscrupulous people gather all sorts of data on who we are and what we do, which they use to target us with the ads that manipulate us the best.
That is what sounds crazy to me.
Preaching to the choir, I know. It amazes me that most people don't seem to care all that much. I wonder if we're just overly sensitive to interruptions and manipulation.
