advertising is just propaganda without a cause
idk about other languages, but in Portuguese it’s literally the same word
Please put me on the haters list. (For advertising & marketing)
It might be an unpopular opinion, but I like the ads! They are very useful because they help me remember the brands not to buy. Edit: /s was not obvious it seems
Ad-blocking is a property right. I have every right to control what my device does or does not display, by definition of ownership. Conversely, advertisers or other parties attempting to colonize my device by forcing it to display something against my (the owner’s) will is a hostile act that violates my rights.
Thats fair if you also hold the stance that they can block you if you aren’t paying to use the service. But i doubt you do.
Everything belongs to the working class brother
True but at the same time entire businesses are built on advertising and wouldn’t exist without it. All your favorite YouTubers, virtually all internet published media, etc.
Don’t forget; sports events. Even the Olympics don’t exist without ads. Adds rule the world (unfortunately). It gets problematic when your privacy gets compromised.
Sporting events existed for thousands of years before advertising—don’t mistake current conditions for necessary ones.
Such a small share of ad-revenue goes to creators it’s not worth it. You lose in wasting time, getting your brain turned to mush and getting manipulated by the ads. It costs less to support the creators directly.
I just wish there were easier ways to do so. Something decentralised with all the creators where I could fix an amount per month to spend on content creation and getting it split between what I appreciated.

Uhhhh I mean there are lots and lots of people doing it every day, so it very clearly absolutely is worth it for them.

That’s great but it’s not sustainable.
If they can’t exist without ads then it’s time to die
Great, wave goodbye to all your favorite publications.
Bad take. There’s also subscription models for example. Or grants or donation / donor based.
Bad take. Those are simply not sustainable in most cases on their own. They just subsidize other revenue models.
Oh no
Anyway
