  The messenger is delivering poison. The messenger is the problem.

    Who’s paying for and giving them the poison? Corporations.

      That’s like saying the gun doesn’t kill people, people do.

      Yeah, corpos pushing products are using ads, but they’re not the ones determining the engagement algorithm that puts the ragebait in front of you.

        And who’s telling/paying them to do that? Corporations.

        Both suck, I hear you, but let’s place the blame at the source.

        Corporations LOVE that you hate their agencies instead of them. Much like how bands love that people hate Ticketmaster instead of them.

  🤡s like you are why we have ads.

  It’s not that “businesses demand it,” it’s that people (like you) don’t have higher standards.

    You might as well tell me it’s my fault that you can’t fly because I pointed out that gravity exists.

    I hate them as much as you do, but I at least know where to place the blame.

      Except you don’t. If people demanded more, they would get more.

      Since most people are like you and accept ads as an inevitability, that’s what we get.
