For me it is when companies/services market themselves as donating to XYZ cause if I buy their product. If they want to donate, they should have already done that with the money they have. Asking me to give them profit so that they can donate is so obviously pretentious.
Here’s the thing.
I’ve been watching TV occasionally - she watches junk TV on this huge thing she got, and, nahhh. I usually do streaming - and every now and then an advert that comes on is actually for a product I’ve never heard of. It’ll be something dumb like little Caesar’s crazy French toast or some shit, but, to the ad’s credit, I would never have known about it if I didn’t see the ad.
But, 95% of ads are absolute junk. Payday loans, reverse mortgages, Dodge Rams; junk. I’d love to see the new products and Superbowl ads, and then nothing else.
