> But hot shit, I have heard the fucking insipid jingle for Chumba Casino so many goddamn times

Yeah, casinos are probably the worst intersection between irritating ads and having enormous budgets to make sure you see them a million times. Here it's this fucking guy on Twitch all the time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C3CKkQkON8A

From the YouTube comments you can see the campaign has really captured the heart of the nation, one fan wrote "if everyone involved with this advert, both on and offscreen, was put up against a wall and shot would it be murder? really?"

Honestly I think our society as a whole would leap forward 200 years if we just sent all the marketers to the moon, but I'm biased. I find all sales people generally irritating for similar reasons. It seems like you just have to lack a certain amount of humanity to take on that job.

Kinda related, Twitter advertising has also absolutely cratered too. I consistently get ads for weight loss drugs and the fucking Liver King of all people. I have no idea what their ad algo has decided about me but it is incredibly, irrevocably wrong.
