Comment on The Future of Advertising Is AI Generated Ads That Are Directly Personalized to You

I’m not against ads in principle. The advertisers are paying the bill for stuff I consume. Great.
For that effort, they get a chance at my wallet. And to be honest, making me aware of a business or product is indeed a way to get me interested in what they sell. I do prefer the ads to be relevant instead of always useless.
That being said, it’s currently preferable to use a blocker and let the people who don’t know how to use blockers subsidize my ad-free ways.

Agreed. I literally use an adblocker on youtube videos that are mostly 1 hour+ 80s/90s nostalgia ad compilations set to vaporwave lol
The issue is that advertizing used to have incentive to be compelling, interesting, memorable, or otherwise just leave you with a good feeling/association with the product they were trying to promote.
Now that every slop corporation is under the impression that they have your attention hostage, they feel justified in shoving literal 3-minute long reels of tiktok videos with MLM chicks screeching about how their makeup is “deadass rizz on god”. You can beat your ass it’s gonna be blocked from my screen lol
