THEY'RE COOKIES FFS

[–] vapordays@leminal.space 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Exactly. Every company is utterly bullshitting us, even the "mom n pop cookie companies"

Not necessarily, and even if so, there are so many more important things to be angry about

[–] vapordays@leminal.space 0 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Maybe most people are not angry enough (or aware enough) about how deceptive, manipulative, continuously invasive, and disturbing to our daily lives advertisements are. Don't let off some business because their advertisement is "cute." They just want you to buy their shit.

Yeah... I know. I adblock everything, I would never see it to begin with lol, unless it's somewhere public and unavoidable. But I'm not really bothered about buying cookies from some small business. So long as capitalism exists (and I'm eager for it to not exist, but for now it does), I have to eat and regular people need to earn money.

You can't exist in a solely ideological paradigm. You have to be pragmatic while working towards bending the world towards something better.

I am simply arguing that advertisements have a bad effect on society and our everyday lives. If more people cared, more could be done about it, instead of most people being unaware and/or delusional of its subconcious effects, and doing nothing about it.
