I got real into Zero Punctuation about a decade ago, so I’d watch a load of 5 minute youtube videos back to back.
It would serve me the same goddamn ad for a Mission Impossible movie between every one. The ad had this hateful nasally music that went “ready or not, here I come.”
I have not paid for a movie ticket, a streaming service, or a new DVD or Blu-Ray since then. Brain surgery with a backhoe, cut your pineal gland off at the waist. Fuck your entire sector of industry, Tom Cruise.

You mean conning people to join the cult or his hobby of mediocre acting?
Yes.
Consumerism! AHHHHH!!!
In my head this read like Queen’s “Flash Gordon” song. It made it all the more absurd and better.
This is the key.
Ads don’t care if you like or don’t like them, as long as you remember them.
The worst thing an ad can be is be forgettable
Disagree.
I may be in the minority but the more I know about you, the less I ever want you in my house.
I will literally go by an LG Washing Machine out of spite because Sony showed up too much in ads.
I don’t know how having me associate their name with a spike of rage is a good thing. There are definitely companies I went from being neutral towards to never considering them again due to their advertising methods. For example I’ve never eaten at Quiznos because of those fucking rat commercials they did like 20 years ago.
Someone should write an article about how interrupting ads actualy negatively affect consumer choices and then popularize it. I am ok even if its just made of shady stats, many will adapt the idea blindly anyways.
Someone should. I’m sure it has never been tried.
Surely companies will ignore decades of psychological studies and own marketing experience for a random article full of made up numbers.
It works for AI …
Ads work. Consumer behavior is among the most studied phenomenoms in the world.
It’s almost like there’s a multi billion industry based on it!
Consumer sentiment is not a factor in the advertising business equation
Except I used to work in distribution for Sears/Best Buy online delivery and I can assure you I noticed what people bought and the ads that were frequent. The more obtrusive ads saw less sales.
…the bigger the reason to use an adblocker.
Some sites I’ll whitelist, but the vast majority can suck it. I’m blocking it.
Where do you even see ads ? Use an ad blocker ! Haven’t seen ads online for over a decade.
Y’all are watching ads? If I see an ad, my immediate reaction is to close the tab.
This was today in a friend group of mine’s discord server
Does anybody actually PLAY raid shadow legends, or is it just an ad for nothing? I don’t think I’ve ever seen the actual game play or heard anyone ever mention playing it.
Streamers play it purely to advertise
Gaming has become such bullshit in this regard.
I mean it’s so rare nowadays to come across a game where you can tell: this is made by someone who genuinely wanted to make this game for the sake of making/playing it.
It’s always just another micro transaction storefront with graphics.
And adds aren’t any different, contrived bullshit.
*mainstream gaming.
There’s still a world out there not bothered by this. I’m a big spender but AAA gaming lost me a while ago. On all systems I’ve got more games to play than I could ever have the time for.
“This has got to be the worst advertisement I’ve ever heard.”
“Ah but you have heard it.”
Ablock + sponsorblock
This is the way, I am amazed how many people just rawdog the internet on a daily basis.
