RE: Ads are becoming more invasive but profitable.

in LeoFinance9 months ago

Advertising is often intrusive. Ok, maybe sexual ads (which can't discriminate the age of the consumer, usually) are the worse. Betting can be too, because it makes people addictive and losing money. But how about ads for pharma? They want repeat customers so they don't cure diseases, they make you live with them. If you watch some ads on TV in our country, probably 35% are about betting, 35% about pharma, while everything else might be 30% if we are lucky. I made up the numbers, I don't actually have a statistics, but they are the majority, for sure.

I think the percentage you allocated to them are correct. Pharma companies are probably the most diabolical and they just want to enrich themselves. It's probably why we don't have permanent cures but only management solutions...

I find porn ads to be the worst, I mean, it gives not choice but eventual consumption, sometimes you can't unsee what you've seen .
