Why don’t we feel …
Why don’t we feel the same way about spam? Why are we desensitized to corporations in our face all the time, yet we detest spammers? What’s the difference?

Ubiquitous ads and corporate marketing basically invade every aspect of our lives, EVERYWHERE we go, all the time, shaping who we are. It’s worse than the spam that clogs my inbox daily.

Corporate interests would lock down the Internet if they could, denying access and clogging bandwidth with their advertising. Why do we tolerate it???

“But you know …
“But you know they’re put on billboards” and so on.

Yeah and I hate being bombarded with them while I’m out in public areas too. I’ve gotten to the point where I avoid all companies that are involved with invasive advertising.

This is …
This is AlastorMoody in the #chris chat on wyldryde.
I would not mind advertisements on paid gadgets or services as long as they did not get in my way or change my experience. As Chris said, the xBox360 ads are ok, they show us what video games are comming out, this is helpful information. On paid services, expect ads, these are ok regardless if they are in the way, it is free, what do you expect?

Haha… no way. …
Haha… no way. Advertising just saturates everything these days – the LAST place I want to see it is on my Desktop 24/7. I’m so tired of looking at advertisement after advertisement everywhere my head turns when I’m not in my house! I can’t imagine have to do so inside of my house as well!

because we get …
because we get irrelevant ads like male enhancement products. when you like a product or a website for example, you may check the box that says “send me updates” because the information pertains to you. if the ads are of useful information, why not?

I hope to see fewer ads on paid services though, but for now, they are not in the way or harming me and my experience.
