“When I’m cutting people off in traffic, illegally parking in handicap spaces, and racing at 100 mph through school zones, I rely on my Dodge Ram pickup to get it done!”
I mean this isn’t far from the current state of things. I subscribe to /r/fuckcars an anti-car sub and regularly see car ads. These advertisers are wasting their money.
All of this spying and data hoarding has resulted in a finely tuned advertising machine that directs car ads to people who specifically hate cars with a burning passion. Peak of targeted advertising.👌
And people still wonder why I use every means within my disposal to block ads. Even if I allowed ads, they aren’t targeted enough to be much more than an annoyance. Even when they somehow manage to show me something I care about, I’m seeing an interesting product from the highest paying company. It’s not the best product in that category, nor is the one that would serve me best. It’s the one from the company that was willing to pay more than any other. Advertising is just so broken in every way you can think of.

When I plowed through that kindergarten I didn’t get as much as a single dent. If that isn’t an endorsement, then I don’t know what is.
