I hate advertising so much. I would ban it immediately if allowed. It makes society so much worse in every possible measure. http://jacek.zlydach.pl/blog/2019-07-31-ads-as-cancer.html
The author must have gotten permission to repeat this even though it was a "private" Convo. This is just a way for the original source to avoid heat while still giving out the information.

Lived abroad for a while in a country I didn’t speak the language in at first. Felt so much better when I didn’t get the normal “Ad” dose day to day just from casually watching TV. (Very anecdotal)
Also at first e.g. people having loud conversations in public or on the train and not having a clue what they are saying meant they were much less distracting.
From the article: "Teams can’t wear cream anymore because it interferes with the digital ads that are placed on the court in broadcast due to the uniforms being so close to the color of the wood that is keyed out in the process."
Couldn’t they just charge for the additional ad space?
The digital boards in hockey can get really annoying even when they're working as intended. Animating them should definitely be banned and I wouldn't mind seeing the digital ads disappear entirely.

How soon until we see AI-powered adblockers that filter the output of any signal to remove anything that it perceives as an ad?
I originally thought of it as "subtracting out annoying people" but "subtracting out ads" is much more compelling.
