    By 2030 everyone’s kitchen will look like fucking Times Square

    The stairs to your basement will look like the London Underground. We’re going down the fucking tube… literally and metaphorically

      Only the poors will have this. Your land Lord is going to go for the cheapest option which will probably have a screen you don’t want with sound you can’t mute.

      People buying subzero or other luxury brands will be fine though.

      Your entire home will. They’re going to figure out how to pipe ads through every connection you have. When your smoke alarm batteries need changing, it will start blaring ads for Eveready.

        I can feel it coming. I’ve started to devest myself anything that dares to show me an ad. It’s liberating. You don’t actually have to live in their algorithmic black box. RSS still exist, fediverse isn’t going anywhere and the constellation of ad blockers are still doing the Lords work. Fuck the marketers.

          Always wild when people seem confused about why you’d want to do this.

          BECAUSE THESE ONES LOOKED AT YOUR SCREEN AND THE ARTICLE WAS TWO INCHES OF TEXT BETWEEN FIVE INCH ADVERTISER BARS BRENDA THAT’S WHY

            For me its a principle thing too. I’ve always really despised tv adverts back when we only had 4 channels in the UK and I’ve maintained the hatred all these years. If you do even the most cursory dive into marketing you realise the people involved in the industry are the most vile, horrible cunts ever.

            Fuck your ads, fuck your marketing. Choose no.

              I can appreciate a well made ad that hits the right notes - comedy, heart, etc. A good one can be like a tiny movie.

              The only real problems is that those decent ads are only about 1 out of 10, or less, and then they show ALL of them, good or bad, way too many times, until you want to attack the TV with a flamethrower.

          Last night, I stayed in a hotel with streaming on the TV, so I checked out YouTube, and some past guest left it signed in.

          His algorithm looked a LOT different from mine, with a lot of really sappy religious stuff. I wondered what the guy is going to think when his algorithm is starts recommending guitar videos. It could be worse.
