Thats why people hate them on top of their invasive nature. Ad agencies realized they get paid if the ad is good or bad, so they just make the bad one now

I was literally saying to some friends today that there was a golden age of [UK] advertising where they were weirdly good to watch even if you had no interest in buying the product ever. like, Guinness adverts were "a thing" and nobody that drinks Guinness ever really needed to have it advertised to them?

How did the SCP prove that the animals were talking and the hat wasn’t causing the wearer to hallucinate?

if the animals can talk they can likely count fingers behind a back or something

Network television was so bland and conservative in the 80s that the commercials were some of the only creative or funny things you would see

being a programmer at an ad company makes you work "in advertising" in the same way that being a programmer at a hospital means you work "in medicine" ie not at all

Not all programming positions are created equal. There are definitely positions in finance and medicine that are totally generic, but there are others that require some domain knowledge and specialized skills.

when i used to sell ads for the student newspaper i'd get comments from the students every couple of months saying that they couldn't see the ads on the web site , and it was always because they had installed adblockers on the office computers
