It’s classic man vs mba.

I want to see ads that are entertaining or helpful. The mba is trying to get me to buy something I don’t want or need.

Advertising isn’t the problem, the problem is the marketing.

I thought I hated ads and that the personal recommendations were creepy. Then Instagram ads crossed the uncanny valley by showing me stuff I actually want to buy. (What a concept!)

Puzzlingly, Google/YouTube should know way more about me than Meta, but most of the ads I get from them suck.
