  • You raise a good point.

    I’m much the same in that I just refuse to watch anything with ads. They really are dystopian and weird.

    I also get that same feeling when I see someone just grinding through youtube ads, but people that do that just don’t seem to have any awareness of the interaction - it’s just part of the show.

    The weirdest of all is when people (usually brave browser enthusiasts?) try to claim that “some” ads are actually a good thing because it makes them aware of some product they actually desire which they wouldn’t have been aware of otherwise. I’ll take blissful ignorance thanks.

    So yes, I can imagine people doing this stuff without really thinking about it.











  • That’s not really what I’m saying… at all.

    Everyone encounters unsolvable problems, whether or not they favor thought terminating cliches. However, we also encounter problems which only appear to be unsolvable. My point is, if you take the attitude that “it is what it is”, you’ll never know the difference.

    You can call me captain solveitall if you wish, but I suspect that won’t make you any less miserable.
