    I’ve been saying this for a long time. We need to recognize it for what it is, attention rape, and reject it completely.

    The junk mail you get in your mailbox should be illegal. I’ve tried contacting people to have them stop, but low and behold it’s USPS that’s responsible and there is no mechanism in place to stop it.

    So many platforms now make you pay for their service and then show you ads with it. You pay to be advertised to. I mean the car is exactly what I’m talking about.

    I honestly believe it’s a detriment to US culture, how saturated every environment is with advertising, people don’t even see it anymore, it’s “normal”, invisible.

    Do not pay for a service that show you ads, I wouldn’t even use a service that relied on advertising. Use only paid services that do not advertise. Do not buy products that advertise to you.
