Im not buying anything with ads. If I have to buy a new flat screen tv, im making sure it can be used without the internet, and any ads can be removed through network ad blocking or other tricks.

Its never enough ads until every surface has an ad on it. Fuck the entire ad business. Making the world ugly.

Advertising should be illegal.

It should be optional for free at least.

Forced ads should be illegal. It's quite literally wasting peoples lives and a lot resources.
