So beyond the fact that they are everywhere and the mass data harvesting that they incentivise I hate particular types of adverts, particularly in TV

• There’s the type that tries to connect their product to something you care deeply about, like family. A common one is the scene of a family reunion, sons and daughters coming home for Christmas, everyone is happy and indeed I connect with that deeply. Then comes the reveal, its fucking oven chips, or candles or some other inane shit. I know why they do this, but I find it deeply insulting, trying to tag their product to my fondest memories, fuck off.

• Second there’s the Freaky/edgy/bizarre ones. As desperarly as it can the advert will try to be as novel, crazy and outright surreal as to force its way into your head. They try to make the action on screen so crazy that you cant help but pay attention. This is a more brute force approach and tries to burn itseld into your memory, until you need a chocolate bar or some shit. There’s one I remember where a woman was on screen with another mouth on her forehead talking, its a memory I don’t want, again, fuck off

I hate ads because fundamentally they don’t respect you, or anything you care about, its just about the money in your wallet.

“The new aspect ratio is worse at triggering tablet app layouts in my use so far, something that the original Fold was the best in the industry with. Now, behavior is similar to the Galaxy Z Fold 6 and OnePlus Open, where you’ll often get stuck with a stretched-out phone version of an app.”
