Reply to comment by omnichronos in CGI-powered ads are coming to Prime Video and Peacock. Both companies demonstrated new ad formats for Virtual Product Placements (VPP), a post-production technique to insert a brand into a show or movie after it's been filmed. by cartoonzi

Yeah, ads are easily the worst part of modern society. If I could get rid of any thing it would be ads, climate change and polarization are whatever.

Yes, and I disagree with OPs stance that ads are the worst part of modern society.

Articles are important, you know.

Modern ads are a symbol of late-stage capitalism so it's not necessarily wrong to say they are the bane of the modern world. Also, fucking chill.

absolute state power

technology being used to sell us more things in increasingly obscene ways is pretty interesting as a modern phenomena. at the time, i replied bc i thought the commenter who said it wasn't as important as climate change was being an asshole. but now i'm actually interested in what we're being sold by the powers that be and why.

I don’t agree that ads are the worst thing in the modern world and I’m entitled to my own opinion. Fucking chill dude.

This is simple, just eliminate free choice. If only one of everything is available, no need to try out-do your non-existent competition.
