the compulsion to show people ads at all times and in all possible locations really is bizarre. how is that, of all things, what continually drives massive businesses? it's so meta and empty and undesirable to so many people, how has that become the norm?
@walruslifestyle People want stuff and services and they don't want to pay for them with cash/money. They don't want those services delivered by the public sector paid for by taxes. That leaves the private sector paying for products/services that are free to the user, but trying to find a way to pay for them without charging directly for the thing itself. The desire to have things without paying for them is equally unnatural.
@walruslifestyle That is true. And if you want to live with no more than the comforts and amentities we had 1000 years ago, I promise you you can do that with no money and none of the intrusive ads. But many things we have come to depend onβand the ads that you were complaining aboutβdid not exist even FIFTY years ago. Much less 250,000. Rhetorical exaggerations like that are a low-effort waste of timeβyours and mine.
@paco so why are you wasting your time? I don't think you caught my original point nor my clarifications so how about we bow out of this
@paco uh, no it isn't? humans existed for approximately 250,000 years without paying for anything?
