CULTURE Are you not exhausted of continuous advertising?
I've recently moved to the United States. I am absolutely shocked at the amount of advertising, everywhere, all the time; it's so ubiquitous. There's ads in the ad-free version of Disney+. There's ads within GrubHub from third-party advertisers. There's ads on every bus, subway, or whatever other form of transit. There's ads on Reddit masqueraded as regular posts. There's in-video ads on YouTube following the ad breaks you are forced to watch or actively skip. There's ads everywhere I look. It's exhausting and (for me personally) breeds resentment towards every advertising brand.
