Title says it all. What really irks you that you don't get to complain about much without catching some glances? Seriously, get as passionate as you'd like. I assume you're an expert.

Advertsing.

Blessed Aiyuna, the stuff is inescapable. Our civilization has somehow decided that, if you have money, you have a goddess-given right to get ALL UP EVERY WHERE IN THE LIFE OF EVERY PERSON AND HEY YOU ARE NOT PAYING ENOUGH ATTENTION LET ME GET EVEN LOUDER SO YOU CAN HEAR ME EVEN IF YOU WALK OUT OF THE ROOM FOR YOUR OWN SANITY SINCE EVERYBODY ELSE IS JUST GOING TO BE LIKE, "WHAT ARE YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT?"

It is not great.

it's somewhat better outside the corporate hellscape known as the US, some EU countries have even started pretty stark "public decluttering" initiatives to remove unnecessary/annoying advertising.

mot that it's much help for someone stuck in the US, just saying

It is always good to see entities realizing that they can do better in this timeline. These ones knew the possibility was in the space, of course, but the local actualization is always good.

I despise with all my beings the fact that ads on youtube are like 10 or 20% louder than the videos
