    Every single ad these days go into a memory black hole. They are so irritating, so invasive, so EVERYWHERE; that I instinctively dissociate from anything in them.

    They won’t get my conscious or subconscious attention. All of my large purchases are researched a minimum 2 weeks in advance and anything small is done on a case by case basis (of which I intentionally scrutinize anything I might have “heard of” because I’m aware of the phenomenon. Fuck all ads, they are my enemy.

      literally the only ad i can think of off the top of my head is that airline booking site with adorable kittens in stitched airplane suits, because obviously that occupies a significant part of my brain at all times

      And i don’t understand how companies fail to realize that cute animals make ads infinitely more appealing, that gives me a reason to maybe actually continue watching it, because i gain something from doing so
