Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

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 hate ads.

I hate them too. If the VR/AR headsets like the Apple vision pro ever become a popular thing, I hope someone creates a real world Adblock that blocks out billboard advertising using the AR capabilities. It would be the only good thing to come out of such a scenario.

The real solution is to allow users to flash custom firmware onto those headsets. There is no way I would ever buy VR/AR equipment if I don't even have control over it. A machine that doesn't follow the operator's commands is useless.

Or switch all the billboards and ads to "They Live" glasses on mode.
