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.

    I don’t like listening to lies, and that’s what marketing often is. Lies poisons your mind, specially if repeated often so the brain starts to get used to them.
