    Advertising in 2025 is essentially manipulation and brain washing.

    Sad that you think that. Never noticed a netflix marlboro ad? Yea that was the point.

        You have never seen a Netflix show or you have never seen an ad for marlboro on Netflix? My point was that Netflix puts subliminal advertising in their retro shows. So for example in The Get Down, there is multiple scenes with a wide street/city shot with Marlboro billboards in the corner the camera zooms in so the marlboro ad was indirectly visible for 1 second, not long enough for people who aren’t aware of subliminal advertising to register consciously. A tactic Australia television was using in the 2010s was switching ads after 1 frame pretending it was programming errors when in reality it was one of the most egregious forms of subliminal advertising. I don’t watch Stranger Things but they are accused of sexying smoking & subliminal marlboro advertisement. Remember the front of counter at grocery stores? Advertisements purposely placed at child eye level.

        Jokes are on all of us I was only using an entirely modern example of this problem.
