advertisements are brainwashing. think about it: if a company spends $1K on advertisement, it expects to make at least as much through increased sales. That's the money they steal from you.

$1K on advertisement

Add a lot of zeros to that.

Most companies spend a lot more on advertisement than developing their product.

it was an example, not meant to be the final number, but yeah, excessive advertisement wastes resources and is a blight on society.

Either ads don't work on me and so it's good for the advertisement companies when I block them and don't waste bandwidth, or they do work on me and in that case it's fucking brainwashing and can fuck right off.

Adblocking is always moral.

I always roll my eyes whenever I see a literal commercial taking up all the space in the headlines due to some fake controversy. Not only does that give the corporation that made it everything they want times a thousand (thus counter-effective for all the people allegedly angry over it), its also 9 times out of 10 used to distract from something that actually matters.
