I agree with a lot of this but I think it’s excessive to say involvement in any ad makes you terrible. Local band puts up flyer at local bar. Karaoke MC says he’ll be at bar Y next week and back here same day next month. I don’t think that makes them bad people. I certainly don’t think it makes the people who designed the flyer bad people. I think ads have become bad and pervasive, but in reality they could and should serve a purpose. If there’s something I’d be interested in, I want to know about it, but there’s no way for me to subconsciously just get all of that information. Newsletters, another form of advertising, are a great way to do this, but those too have suffered. Ads could at least be somewhat informative, but now they’re all just “brand awareness”. I think that’s one of the big issues. I understand the perspective of wanting a 0 ad life, but I think a lot of that mindset comes from the abuse ads have done. Autoplay video ads? Abhorrent. Small ad on a bar website telling me when happy hour is? Helpful. That’s just my opinion, obviously, but I thought I’d mention as an alternative perspective.
I’ve seen ads though that I didn’t hate, or actually showed something interesting/cared about. I can’t remember what it was lol.
Like there’s a .0001% chance to find a good ad. I also just never see any, but my mom watches a lot of YT on our TV and refuses to try SmartTube, so that’s the only place where I’m forced to see ads…
The irony of not able to be liberated from LIBERTYLIBERTYLIBERTY!LIBERTY!
You gotta admit the baby ads are fun
It’s pronounced “Bibberty”
No ad is fun, no ad is art, no ad is good. Anyone involved in the creation of ads is a terrible person and you are brainwashed by a culture in decline

I’d say some ads can be cultural relevant, but it’s pretty rare that an ad hits that spot, because they don’t aim for it.
Even Art Nouveau?
Liberty mutual ads suck. Full stop.

I loved the old Gushers ads, always wished my head would actually turn into a fruit lol.
