I bet there are hermit influencers who post videos where they hold the latest chamberpot up to the camera and extol its virtues. Then they post a shelfie that shows their latest book haul about transcendental meditation and bushcrafting.

Hermits united. We get together every few years, swap stories about caves… it's good fun! For a hermit, that is…

Do they just record the video to a usb drive, seal it in a bottle, and throw it in the ocean or something? Wouldn’t posting it online revoke their hermit status?
sthetic@lemmy.ca 2 weeks ago
Yes, as long as the bottle is hermetically sealed.

I guess if you only posted and never read the comments/otherwise consumed you’d still be safe. Just screaming into the void

Screaming into the void is fun until the void screams back.

Exactly. Blocking out ads wherever possible is the only way to not be influenced by advertising. At least it helps to know that one isn't immune to it. That helps to counteract the effects somewhat, but don't count on it if you aren't actively keeping your defenses up.
