Comment on Popup Ads in Your Pickup Truck? RAM Trucks Now Feature Scammy Ads on the Center Display
clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 days agoIt’s obviously better not to show ads while you’re driving. How could anyone think otherwise?
The question was if it is better to show ads only when the car is stopped. Your answer is for a different question: should it show ads at all. Being angry at me isn’t going to make Dodge stop this stupid idea.

I’m not mad at you at all. I’m mad at the motherfuckers who think they have a right to my attention.
But to respond - it’s not better, because either option is detestable. I reject both.
You correctly called it that we’re answering different questions. I reject the question you’re answering, because I do not accept advertisements in my vehicle, that I own, as a foregone conclusion. You accidentally’d a step in accepting their bullshit.
I literally would rather threaten legal action, or show up outside their advertising executive’s house with a megaphone to try to sell them some scammy bullshit while they expect privacy. Maybe I’d even read off the advertising I get on the console. (Not that I’d ever buy a RAM truck, but still.)
New Business Idea: Buy unzoned property that can be used to block scenic overlooks around the homes of scummy advertising executives. Put up billboards.

I’d invest in that.
