Why have we allowed advertisements to become so normalized?

The founding fathers would've started a revolution simply over how many commercials we're subjected to daily.

just get an adblocker

That doesn't address the societal issues with this type of shit.

What societal issues?

The societal issues of having a population being okay with their existence reduced to nothing more than an ad consumer, so long as they can get an adblocker.

If you get an adblocker you're not consuming ads, I don't really get what you're saying

COLD BEER ON A FRIDAY NIGHT

Billboards. You going to adblock the fucking freeway?

You could just look at the road instead, but besides, why do you define yourself by the ads you see?

I agree OP. I wonder what percent of my life is watching ads. Its cancer and should be banned.

This.

It doesn't matter. Your brain probably remembers a good 10 to 20 ads in their entirety. You can recognize the jingles of their slogans. It is intrusive and something you shouldn't be okay with if you have an inner monologue. Now if you're a retarded NPC then your replies make sense.

Why do you watch ads?

What's wrong with remembering things?

The US has become a country of Mammon worshippers.

*You're at a bar, ad comes on the TV.
*You're at a party, ad comes on from the TV in a room.
*Hanging out with a girl after sex, ad comes on.
*Work computer, need to search something ad ad ad.
*Email, spam ad ad ad

I'm done with you. You are clearly a fucking retard.

Marketing is just the natural consequence of capitalism optimizing itself
Since the world must rely on consistent consumption, both supply and demand must be produced

I understand the reason it has come to exist. I don't understand people not being more upset with it, especially as more type of technology enables the broadcasting of them.

I don't watch TV. Maybe you should stop.

user you are retarded.
Here’s a billboard I drive past every week if I work in Philly, and you’re just assuming that this has no effect on children? Or the adults that make up our society?
Devil’s advocate only works if you say something that doesn’t fail basic logical shit tests.

based comrade, how about we throw some billboards from a helicopter in minecraft?

This.

I can't even read that shit. Why are you taking pictures while driving? And what's even your point?

In the rebirth after the upcoming collapse make sure that commercial speech is not a protected form of expression. Imagine a world without billboards.

You don’t need to read anything to see the enormous ass plastered for all to see, and what’s worse is it’s a plastic surgery advert. If I had an 8 year old daughter in the back seat you think that wouldn’t affect her perception about bodies? And modesty?
And I take pictures while driving because I do whatever the fuck I want to do you fucking pussy

They have divided this country.
Someone should get them under sedition charges.
All it takes is proof of two different ads for two different demographics used at the same time.
It's also racist and homophobic.
Think about how far this argument could go if only racists shut up for just a second.
But fox news is ads.
MSNBC is ads.
The same advertisers use different ads for both demographics, it's sedition.

Ads are straight up propaganda. But they help finance a ton of shit that without ads, would be more expensive or not free. So people, as always, don't give a shit and want free/cheaper shit.
