Advertisements are a scourge upon society, the environment, and ourselves. They are among the worst capitalism has to offer. Why not get rid of them?

    Agree on getting rid of advertisements, they have this weird dystopian feeling to them and I get the feeling that advertisements are trying to tap into people’s psychological and mental processes to exploit them to gain the company more money

    Just being aware of ads trying to exploit your psychology should help curb it a bit alteast in my personal experience but you need to keep reminding yourself so don’t forget, writing this paragraph just now made me think what else have humans forgotten that we need to remind ourselves of to seperate ourselves from the mass collective thought of society

    Also the entirety of capitalism is bad, it exists to exploit and exploitation is inherent to capitalism
