I'm happy to not be able to relate to someone wanting to talk about an ad. Especially if the focus of the conversation isn't on how annoying ads are. I get that they can sometimes be funny or clever or whatever but that just isn't a facet of humanity that I care to celebrate.

It sucks to miss movie trailers. Its ironic, I subbed to a youtube channel to catch trailers, the only ads I wanted and it spammed shite edits of trailers and I gave up.

I don't even see the ads I see. If an email or text message looks like an ad then I'm probably not reading it either. Nonstop spam ads caused me to be this way. I sure as sh*t am never clicking on an ad to buy anything. I don't think I have ever clicked on an ad and bought something through the ad.

I've had similar exchanges with people where they'll start with "have you seen the ad where..." and before I've even heard the details I say "I don't watch ads," but they'll follow up with "No you've definitely seen this one, it's unavoidable," and then they proceed to describe something I've never seen because I don't watch ads. Not only do I have ad blocking on every device that I use, I actively choose my entertainment based on what doesn't have ads or can be adblocked. If the only way for me to use a given platform is to tolerate ads, I just don't use it.
