Their existence is a waste of time. If I wanted to but a Big Mac, I’ll go and fucking buy one. No ad is going to make me do that.
During the pandemic I was trying to buy a new car since I’d moved further away from my job and needed one for the first tune in years. So many car ads, but every dealership I called “oh, we won’t have stock for another 6-8 months”. Well then stop advertising your cars!
And just generally; I know products exist. I’m aware that I can but a product to clean windows. Seeing your ad isn’t making me go “wow, clean windows, there’s a thought!” For fucks sake.
Ads are one thing that really pisses me off.
