new to this website, will prob update this later
Maybe most people are not angry enough (or aware enough) about how deceptive, manipulative, continuously invasive, and disturbing to our daily lives advertisements are. Don’t let off some business because their advertisement is “cute.” They just want you to buy their shit.
Exactly. Every company is utterly bullshitting us, even the “mom n pop cookie companies”
no it’s good
I don’t enjoy every company pretending to be super cute and trigger our buttons to sell its most likely bullshit ass product which is “honestly” most likely totally unrelated to the advertisement they are pushing in our face
“charming” ads
“We thought building a cardboard airline in a treehouse sounded more honest.”
I don’t think they know what “honest” means
Here’s the problem, for this to happen, we would first have to reorganize the economy/politics/society. Everything has turned to total shit because we live in a global capitalist plutocracy. Nothing is gonna get much better under that
Like, if they don’t have cell service when we go camping, they are just super agitated like they’ve lost their sense of smell or something.
LMAO
Me mfw when I’m a millennial laughing and also sympathizing at the GenZers’ inability to exist in the world without electronic devices and high speed bips and boops
I just started watching some anime and was thinking about this!
I watched a few different series in English, dubbed, and they seemed good… then I tried another “classic” dubbed in English (Attack on Titan) and I didn’t like it. I had a gut feeling that it would be better w/ Japanese and subtitles, so I decided to try it, and it was almost a different show… much better. Not only did the voices make more sense, the words are very different, almost completely different on some occasions.
I’m scared to rewatch the shows in Japanese that I already watched in English, haha.
I totally understand about not wanting to read subtitles, I don’t necessarily want to, either, but it can completely change the show and be the difference between it being good and not good… not to mention the creators’ original intentions…
This one was so disappointing :(
This describes like all the batman villains
Has anyone said this yet? Every U.S. city
AI bots are doing what the advertising industry has honed into a science, manipulating people in a sneaky as fuck way in order to farm money from them infinitely
I see Alexa is on the LG TV, and there’s a way to turn it off in settings, but is it actually truly off when you do this (do u know)? lmao
was literally about to buy a Roku TV. not anymore
anyone have suggestions for a decent new TV that isn’t so invasive?
Or accelerate it apart
One of the big ones: motivation.
Most people when talking/thinking about “motivation” are referring to extrinsic motivation.
Even if they make a distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic, they basically assume these add together to create “more” motivation.
However, they don’t sum together. One crowds out the other, like in a neverending battle.
Sure thing boss
Innovation was only ever a small part. Rent-seeking is more fundamental to capitalism than “innovation” is. It’s just more brazen than we remember from our childhoods.
I am simply arguing that advertisements have a bad effect on society and our everyday lives. If more people cared, more could be done about it, instead of most people being unaware and/or delusional of its subconcious effects, and doing nothing about it.
You think the cookie business advertisements are no problem. I disagree, even though I ultimately believe there are much bigger problems (of course…) - This advertisement is manipulative nonsense, like the vast majority of them, and the business or the product etc. is not a cute little innocent thing.
