I hate ads.

That's it. That's all I wanted to say. Just loathe them with a burning passion. More than i do anything else in my day to day life. I feel an urge to scream it into the world every single day just how much i despise ads and whoever invented them.

I hate ads.

I can't escape them. I feel like i'm trapped in a sick psychological torture experiment. Can't even go outside for a walk without seeing them everywhere. This is not how human beings should live.

I hate ads.

Do the people who make ads not feel any shame for what they are doing? Stop trying to sell me your shit, i don't want it! I don't want to give you my money, stop trying to take it away from me!

I hate ads.

I’m sure you’d love one of YouTube’s proposals for a new ad system!

When reality turns into a Black Mirror episode...

Hilariously that episode about the society built on ads was their second ever episode.

Didn't MoviePass already try that?

No, the CEO stated that they were thinking about a service where a user could watch several dozen ads for a free movie tickets.

The eye tracking was deemed unfeasible to begin with, so they opted to give the user a set of questions at the end of each ad that they have to answer correctly.
