I hate knowing how much money is spent on them so that they can annoy us with every attempted second of our lives. What, you can’t use that money to better pay your workers? You can’t use that money to improve aspects of your company, so you’re going to pay these groups of obnoxious pricks whose entire existence is to annoy people with your ads?
The ads themselves are too theatric for me to care, I can’t tell you the amount of ads I’ve had to stomach hearing through Spotify that makes me care even less about a product. They just take turns outdoing themselves as to which ad is the dumber of the bunch that night. Even worse are the ads that try too hard to reach for something that was ‘hip’ to do like 5 or 10 years ago.
The lying in commercials. I’ve learned in life that some brands that aren’t even the brand of choice, the best option available. I’ve been surprised on some of the things I’ve acquired from even dollar stores that somehow are better than the name brands.
And even then, there’s still lies projected from commercials that attempt to snag you in for money.
It’s so wasteful. It costs paper, electricity, bandwidth, and mostly, my time. I don’t have money. If you advertise something that costs money, I’m not interested.
I heard one I thought was ridiculous. You can pay a company because you spend so much you don’t even know where your money is going, because don’t we all have so many subscriptions nowadays?
I have a no spam sticker on my mailbox but brokers don’t care. No, I don’t want to sell my home so you can drive up the rent. If I’d own the place, I could do that myself.
I already go to the supermarket every day. Why do they need to shout at me telling me what they’re selling? Stop wasting money and make stuff cheaper instead
