That’s a pretty disingenuous interpretation of what I said. But I get it, you don’t like advertising so it has to be completely evil with no redeeming qualities or nuance.

Oh you talked about the good ads!

Really, I have yet to see an ad that is not just trying to enter your brain with force and malice.

It's just getting worse too, the "Buy Acme product!" image is now a +100% loudness jump-scare video on auto-pay.
