Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here!

Why on earth would anybody buy a fridge with a screen? Why does everything have to be screens? Why is it all one big mobile phone nowadays? Can’t we just not be staring gormlessly into a flashing screen for two fucking seconds for a fucking change??? I just got back inside from a run and now I’m going outside again for a walk in the dark and the rain because there is an entire world out there that isn’t an algorithmically driven advertising funnel trying to shove more bullshit down our eager eyes, ears, and throats.

Although, while I’m on the subject, the outside world is fucking chock full of ads. I’ve heard it’s relatively trivial to open those advertising windows on bus stops - does anybody know if it would be illegal to open one up and simply place a large black sheet of paper or something in there to cover up the ads? Not damage the ads or remove (i.e. steal) them, but just cover them up to give ourselves and our communities a break from the relentless marketers in our midst?

We deserve not have to our senses monetised and weaponised by perverts who cum themselves dry over CTRs, CLVs, CPCs, SEO, Brand Loyalty, Funnels, and Strategies, Local SEO, whatever else. We deserve to be able to look in any direction when we’re outside and for five minutes not have some massive gaudy advert designed by a bellend pushed into view.

And as for fucking User Personas? I’ve got a User Persona for you, you sick advertising creeps. It’s my fucking ballsack.
