    Just seems like another lousy ad, AI or not.

    I have no idea what ads look like anymore, so I have nothing to compare it to. So they should have been asking, who is going to see this? Maybe they did do that and figured the demographic wouldn’t care.

      I think the last time i saw a tv ad was 10+ years ago. Except for the one time i pirated some trash tv show and they forgot to cut out the ads. Because it was american it was extra dystopian. I don’t know how people do it. Do you get used to that or am i just turbo autistic

        It’s a little of column a & column b. Until recently I was paying for entertainment services, then they started including ads in premium memberships (except dropout, you’re a real one Sam!). I went, as you so eloquently stated, turbo autistic. And cancelled everything (again except dropout) and locked my virtual presence down. I’m talking vpns,a pi hole, modded apks, the fucking works aside from a complete degoogling which is next in the list. That was a year or two ago, and I honestly must’ve had something like digital Stockholm syndrome cause it really doesn’t feel all that different cause I would typically zone out during commercial breaks anyways. But I had my mom in town visiting and she wanted to watch wicked and it was pretty jarring having to sit through 2-3 minutes of ads to watch the movie.
