Your entire home will. They’re going to figure out how to pipe ads through every connection you have. When your smoke alarm batteries need changing, it will start blaring ads for Eveready.
I can feel it coming. I’ve started to devest myself anything that dares to show me an ad. It’s liberating. You don’t actually have to live in their algorithmic black box. RSS still exist, fediverse isn’t going anywhere and the constellation of ad blockers are still doing the Lords work. Fuck the marketers.
For me its a principle thing too. I’ve always really despised tv adverts back when we only had 4 channels in the UK and I’ve maintained the hatred all these years. If you do even the most cursory dive into marketing you realise the people involved in the industry are the most vile, horrible cunts ever.
We went on a huge rant about it to partners lately, about how the entire concept of advertising is defection to entities that exist enough to have experiences, an endlessly escalating Red Queen’s race of who can be louder, more memorable, more in your face, BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY
It’s infuriating and depressing by turns, and most of the entities around just brush it off as it gets louder and louder and louder.
I can appreciate a well made ad that hits the right notes - comedy, heart, etc. A good one can be like a tiny movie.
The only real problems is that those decent ads are only about 1 out of 10, or less, and then they show ALL of them, good or bad, way too many times, until you want to attack the TV with a flamethrower.
Last night, I stayed in a hotel with streaming on the TV, so I checked out YouTube, and some past guest left it signed in.
His algorithm looked a LOT different from mine, with a lot of really sappy religious stuff. I wondered what the guy is going to think when his algorithm is starts recommending guitar videos. It could be worse.
Remember when these psychos wanted to kill Bill Gates because somehow Windows was planting nanochips in our blood streams or something? I don’t know, I try not to listen to the ramblings of mentally ill people. They don’t get any more lucid just cause they’re wearing a suit, and wrangled an appearance on Meet The Press.
Now they got a guy who openly states that he wants to plant microchips in our brain for some reason, and they all think he’s the second greatest human ever. MAGAs would definitely elect him president if they could. I wouldn’t be surprised if they held a write-in vote for him, then insist that he be president, just because they got so many votes, even if it isn’t enough to beat the real candidate. Write in votes should count as 3 Votes, because they’re harder, and you have to write and spell and stuff, something like that.

Always wild when people seem confused about why you’d want to do this.
BECAUSE THESE ONES LOOKED AT YOUR SCREEN AND THE ARTICLE WAS TWO INCHES OF TEXT BETWEEN FIVE INCH ADVERTISER BARS BRENDA THAT’S WHY

Fuck your ads, fuck your marketing. Choose no.

And with neurolink, they’ll find a way to shove ads in when you close your eyes and subliminal thoughts
