We’ve grown used to blocking ads online — but what about the ones we encounter in the real world? Can they be blocked, how would that work, and should they be?
I’m starting to think that without the advertisement industry that the whole world’s capitalistic societies would collapse. Where else is value so subjective that you can earn a million bucks if you are slightly famous and in a 30 second commercial.
I honestly don’t understand ads and people who “fall” for them. There were a few local ads here of locally famous footballer next to a Hyundai and a slogan like: blabla gives Hyundai two thumbs up.
Why would he care? What does he know about cars? He’s not even pretending to drive a Hyundai irl.
