I hate ads.

That's it. That's all I wanted to say. Just loathe them with a burning passion. More than i do anything else in my day to day life. I feel an urge to scream it into the world every single day just how much i despise ads and whoever invented them.

I hate ads.

I can't escape them. I feel like i'm trapped in a sick psychological torture experiment. Can't even go outside for a walk without seeing them everywhere. This is not how human beings should live.

I hate ads.

Do the people who make ads not feel any shame for what they are doing? Stop trying to sell me your shit, i don't want it! I don't want to give you my money, stop trying to take it away from me!

I do my best to actively work at not buying anything I see advertised.

Same, but at the same time we have to recognize that none of us are immune to psychological manipulation, even when we are aware that that is what they are doing. With enough repetition ads will still work subconsciously even though you may consciously make an effort to try and resist them. It's mental rape. You did not consent yet you still have this shit thrust into your brain.
