Used to be ads on the side of videos, and they were still scams like "Hit the target to win a FREE ipad!" At least they didn't block the actual content. No one should ever feel bad about blocking ads lmao.

Ads are as pure brainwashing as the definition allows for, literally changing your subconscious behavior by ceaseless repetition. It's considered torture under the Geneva convention, not sure how people got to the point where they think this is ok on radio, tv, billboards, everywhere all the time 24/7, but I have a feeling the brainwashing played a role.
