    Nope. Mostly gambling adverts. Every other advert, some cuntrag gambling company.

    Why aren’t you gambling? It’s easy, we have an app for it so you can do it on the sly and everything. Do it. Gamble now, all your friends are doing it. Look at all these joyous people gambling, don’t you want to be like them? Gamble now!

    Not interested. Will never be interested. The more I get advertised a thing, the less interested I get; one of the few useful artefacts of my spergness. Advertising genuinely doesn’t have the desired affect on me, it just annoys me and I mentally blacklist any product that advertises at me.

    The entire advertising industry is a cancer on humanity as far as I’m concerned. A net drain of resources that serves no purpose other than to prop up the throwaway consumerism that’s destroying the only place in the universe known for certain to support life.

    Fuck all that shit.

      Seen the one where the guy hears a car alarm chirp and it triggers his gambling impulse? Like, he hadn’t been thinking about it but every day sounds can bring on the urge. That is absolutely advertising an addiction, crazy that this shit is legal, especially given that they get upset with me for using small doses of opiates to get through my day.
