I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don’t belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren’t installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian.
I think the worst ads are the text to speech ones that say “Download this app today”. The unblinking energenic people saying you can make a living at home are probably a close second.
Sometimes, if I’m feeling especially saucy, I’ll watch 80s commercial supercuts on youtube for hours.
yeah those are always fun to see!
I went to a bar recently that did a 90’s trivia night and in between the rounds they showed some retro commercials.
