Omg. Yesterday I watched an ad that explained in an AI voice how tinnitus causes memory loss and within three years I’ll be unable to form any new memories. It was absolutely ridiculous, low effort, overseas fraud. Google has become a toilet of the Internet. The ad quality and quantity have degraded severely this year. I still think that based on how much they’re selling out any remaining trust or brand quality, they must be secretly struggling in a very bad way.

  How about that guy who says you can’t lose weight by cutting carbs? He is so over-exposed that the other scam ads talk about him! Or the ads I see all the internet that talk about what form of exercise or intermittent fasting is good depending on the last digit of your age or the ratio of your thumb length to your p4s length which you know is not really about exercise or intermittent fasting or your age or your thumb or your p4s, but really they will send you to some site that plays a video that drones on for an hour and a half and finally pushes some lame-ass supplement. They must have a terrible conversion rate but they do OK because you can never unsubscribe once you get signed up unless you are really well connected and can call your congressman who can call the president who can call the joint chiefs of staff who can sic the navy SEALs on their ass.

I just got this one as the first ad I saw now while browsing in an incognito tab. I really had no idea how far the quality has fallen, dang.

  FYI to anyone reading this that gets ads in incognito, but not regular browser: you can go to manage plugin for uBlock Origin (the chrome page, not the unlock Origin settings page), and check the box to allow it to run in incognito.

"Google has become a toilet of the Internet". Well, they are recycling it into gold right now.
