Comment on Marketing is in large part what necessitates marketing to begin with.

  I don’t like sports that much but I bet I could sit through a game if there weren’t fucking ads for shit I don’t want everywhere.

    Have you tried letting them track everything you do for targeted personalized ads that will absolutely nail what you want? /s

      That’s the neat part: They just assume if you’re watching sports you like beer, trucks, and dick pills

        At you really going to sit there and try to tell me that Patrick Mahomes eating wings doesn’t make you want to immediately drop what you’re doing and go to wing stop!?

      They should personalize ads to my bank account balance

    I enjoy watching sports but the ads and greed greatly diminish the experience. NFL is probably the worst of the worst.

  Most gas pumps have a button you can press to mute the obnoxious ads. Usually second down on the right.

    It varies. At one place I used to go to, you could mute them. But they disabled the mute button, so I stopped going there.

    At a different place, I accidentally went into an admin menu (by pressing several buttons at once) and that made me nervous, so I stopped screwing with the buttons. While it’s very tempting to try and hack them, everything is on CCTV now. It’s probably a crime here in the United States of Corporatism.

    Fortunately there are still gas stations close to my job where I can fuel the vehicle in relative peace. I’d rather give those places my business.

      I need to sort which ones by me don’t have ads. It’s the jarring audio at 5:30 am when I haven’t had coffee yet that just sours my mood.

    I’ve been trying every button on the pumps I’ve been to and none of them work. I think advertisers are onto us.
