I swear, man. Until every surface is used to display ads I don’t think advertisers will rest. Surely we all see where this is going. Every day new ways to show ads are devised. More and more blank and negative spaces (which have inherent value as-is) are considered fair game for advertising. already the number of times per day that I must mentally say “no” to an advertisement is exhausting. It’s already way, WAY past my worst childhood predictions. It just isn’t ever going to stop, is it? Advertisers just won’t be happy until they’ve created a dystopia. I want off this ride. It’s no longer fun.

Rejoice! Now that AI is a thing, it's a matter of short years before AIs begin making ads just for you. Obviously not ideal, except that then it will just be a matter of decades until most ads are targeted to AIs and the humans that remain go to hide in Zion. Maybe we will be free of ads there.
