I guess we have some misconception who is Gen Z really.
If you see ads you are doing the Internet very wrong. Install Firefox and uBlock Origin or Ad Nauseum extensions for a much safer, better experience.
And slap a DNS based ad blocker on top just for good measure.
What was that thing where a website could create a sort of borderless window with a hot chick or cute character in it simply by visiting the website. And you couldn’t close it because it was borderless with no buttons.
Ads on social media must suck. Glad we’re all here on lemmy where we get inundated with communist propaganda instead of consumerist propaganda.
Or endless ads for Linux.
Which is the communist OS, of course.
Our propaganda.
I wonder if that’s why I hate ads so much. Grew up with the understanding that they are a literal attack to both me and my property. …I mean, that’s still exactly what they are, but acknowledging them as such is definitely a minority mindset nowadays.
People ditched Myspace in part because of the ad saturation.
There was a time when Facebook was the clean and minimalist version of social media.
I haven’t looked at it since those days. I’d probably get instantaneous eye cancer looking at it today…
Even just the occasional glance at my spouses’ phone screen
gives me cancer: it’s full of ads or ‘sponsored content’ or ‘content’ that’s a blatant advertisement.I rarely venture on FB these days, perhaps twice a year. So I was surprised when I last logged in to find a number of posts from people and groups I’ve never heard of, because FB had decided I’d probably enjoy their content.
All it told me was that people aren’t posting enough to make the feed worthwhile, so they have to inject bullshit into it too.
IMHO It’s literally poison.
I don’t disagree.
The eye cancer would happen because of someone’s custom html profile theme.
One of those viruses is Windows.
Shhh…
Just use CoPilot bb
No tears, only Microsoft CoPilot (brought to you by the Microsoft Corporation)
Fuck MichaelSlop
Or you were watching TV, listening to the radio, reading a magazine, driving down the street, look up at the sky, reading a newspaper, checking your mail…
Leela: Didn’t you have ads in the 20th century?
Fry: Well, sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines and movies and at ball games, on buses and milk cartons and T-shirts and bananas and written on the sky. But not in dreams. No, sir-ee!
Yeah! I mean, we all have commercials in our dreams, but you don’t see us running off to buy brand-name merchandise at low low prices.
Slight facial tick
When I was a kid it was <10 minutes of ads per hour on TV and (I think) 12 minutes per hour on radio, roadside billboards were illegal in my county, and the local newspaper ads were mostly relegated to the back page and sunday inserts.
There were also no blatant ads pre-roll at movie theaters and productions got bad press for having product placement.
At the same time??
Talent
Wow I bet this one kills at the vet’s club
Now the viruses go straight into your brain. Talk about efficiency!
