I have several add blockers installed in my browser. I just get sick by most of the adds nowadays. Though I am not sure whether there really was a decline. Maybe the adds always were so bad. I dislike the cheap irony and the metajokes. Currently I get so many adds for an anti-diarrhea medication (no it has nothing to do with my browser history lol). I just think which actors want to be humiliated like that. Just showing your face as if you would take a huge dump right now. At least these people have jobs in contrast to me. Lol.
I dislike many commercials. They try to address our most primitive insticts. DFW writes wonderfully about that. Many companies are extremely greedy and would do anything to get some cheap money. I recently wrote about that but I now do it again. The sponsors of soccer clubs just digust me. There are many sponsors from dictatorships which violate human rights. Paris Saint-Germain is very cool for many young people. I am disgusted by them. I almost quit watching soccer at all because of this development. There is no morality anymore. Maybe there never was.
But superficially everything must look good. Just some statements in favor of feminism and gender equality but secretly don't giving a fuck about for example the gender pay-gap. These people are such hypocrites.
Another personal reason why I avoid adds: I don't have much money. And adds often create an artifical desire for products you don't need. Often the desire wanting to buy something is way more intensive than the satisfaction when you have bought it. DFW said that. But I think he mainly spoke about the upper-middle class in a broader context. I still can relate to that. But being poor is still pretty horrible. For me it is one of my main reasons why I want to ctb.
