Anything containing words is a meme
Your face is a meme! Literally.
Technically anything that conveys an idea. (But actually the idea itself is the meme)
Is your definition/ meme criteria a meme too? Was my question a meme? Am I a meme?
I saw this clever meme that i didn’t thought about off in the shower.
Pretty much most children’s cartoons were designed just to sell toys and other merchandise, and of course ads in between the show to get kids interested in pestering their parents into buying the advertised products. I tried watching a Chip and Dale episode on Disney + recently out of nostalgia, I used to love that show as a kid, but now I realized how simplistic and nonsensical the plot was, cause it’s designed to be consumed by children and they ain’t exactly media literate yet lol
In Norway it is illegal to advertise to kids. I love that so much. Can we adult have that too?
Commercials are the content. The shows are filler.
Literally why Soap Operas exist. Breaks between soap commercials.
When Conan’s ratings were scaring the affiliates, many attempts were made to get him to change the show. One of the last-chance attempts was when Conan was brought into Lorne Michael’s office and briskly told that it didn’t have to be good. It just had to get an audience. He refused, and was canned soon after.
Having watched a bit of YouTube TV recently, it is impressive that even now, the streaming apps still have fewer ads than television.
When deciding what to put on the air, they literally call the advertising “content” and the show that you’re watching “filler”.
Which is why my network TV free lifestyle is much more pleasant. Advertisements ruin everything good.
ITT people meeting capitalism. If something’s free, you are the product.
What’s a “commercial break”? Arrrrrrr!
It’s also how podcasts work for people who don’t know what a RSS feed is. Or having chapter markers. Or no ad injection.
Ad break? You mean Lemmy time :)
