Advertising should be illegal. It should be considered harassment.

If you want people to find your product then we need to log that in a public database site. If you want to find a product go there, nobody ever wants to find a product while driving or watching movies or existing in public.

    I have a personal rule to never buy from brands that harass me by spamming annoying ads left and right.

    I can't believe people actually pay for branded clothing. I avoid branded clothing like the plague. If companies like Nike actually want someone to walk around plastered with their brand on them they should be paying them.

    But companies have convinced people to pay enormous amounts of money to wear their brand as a "style" or as "self-expression". Just wow.
