#ad free internet

[hotcupoteckla]

Ah, joy.

If the entire Ad Council would kindly jump onto a homemade submarine and go browse the Marianas Trench for Atlantis for several weeks, I'd appreciate it.

Fyi, there are corporations in charge of what you see/are forced to endure, because someone thought (bought) maybe these fucks could self regulate and not turn everything into brainwashing propoganda everywhere you turn, because someone proposed putting a tax on all advertisements back in the later 1930s, to force companies to fucking stop it with the billboards.

Instead, the corpos offered free propoganda to the government who took it gladly what with bonds sales, war bonds, and the War effort.

Imagine a 1% tax on the sale of advertisements.

Imagine fewer ads, Imagine better government budgets, Imagine structural changes to our society, because the Ad Council is either Gone, or it stops being privately funded. We'll see how it plays out in the courts of Maryland for digital ads.

Imagine political ads being TAXED.

It could be like that. I guess we'll have to see how Maryland's setup on digital advertisement tax pans out.

In complete seriousness, they need to make laws about ads that say they can take no more than one, maybe two, clicks/taps to close/skip. No more "wait 10 seconds until you can skip the video, wait 10 seconds until you can skip the fake playable ad, wait 5 seconds until you can close the 'download now' overlay, puts up a half-screen in-app appstore pop-up (which at least you can close immediately)." This should literally be illegal to do.

Edit: this is blowing up so I just wanted to add (haha ad) that this was my "reasonable request" I also think there should be way more and way stricter laws around all advertising in general. I think most advertising as we know it today should be abolished.

Happy Birthday to Ferdinand von Aegir!

I actually made 33 emotes, affectionately known as Aegirglyphics to some, for my own personal use on discord. However, I figure why not share some of them! They're free to use for discord servers/icons/pfps or whatever. However, my only request is Do NOT use them as subscriber emotes on Twitch. You can make them free follower emotes but you are not to make them locked behind a paywall.

HEY YALL

I disappeared due to some issues with my medications but today is my birthday so if your reading this you should pretty please take a look through either the families I've reposted here or the operation olive branch spreadsheet and donate $22 (or an amount of your choosing) to a family trying to escape the war in Gaza. I know not everyone has the ability to donate which is fair but you should take a moment to go follow the families who's asks I've answered on here and show them some love🫶❤️

Ive not really been one to post on public social media much? It freaks me out usually, so apologies if my formatting is hot garbage I am trying

south park fandom: stop sexualizing minors!

south park: literally had a chart of 4th graders' sizes as a plot line 💀

i mean ,, it all depends on the intentions ,

the episode youre talking about (s15 e4 T.M.I) had the size chart as a plot line to show how Cartman gets ahead of himself due to anger and acts without thinking , this gets him sent to anger manegment as one of the plot lines ,

its been a while since ive watched the episode but im p sure it wasnt done with sexual intent , unlike a portion of the fandom which do ( though nowadays people tend to use either the postcovid or their own aged up versions , but the ethics of that are another topic)

tdlr : i see where youre coming from but its a little more nuanced than that

[pagesinmylife]

Currently super nostalgic for the days where subscriptions weren’t really a thing online and you could use an endless amount of tools and websites for free with the occasional ad

[forcebookish]
