Ads are bad in 2023
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 сен 2023
- I talk about how ads are absolutely terrible in 2023, and how popular corporations and influencers manipulate the consumer's mindset to get us to buy useless tat.
This was a little late getting out, because I'm a little gen-z gremlin perfectionist.
Part 1. There are Ads everywhere
Part 2. Why Ads matter?
Part 3. Ads today are bad
Part 4. Frequency: too many ads
Part 5. Desirability: A little too good to be true
Part 6. Authenticity: Brands and influencers are not your friends
Part 7. Conclusion. Companies are not your friends
If you've watched the video, thanks for watching! What do you think of Ads today? Am I the only one who thinks the amount of ads are ridiculous??

Check out Culture Broker, a serial fiction novel I’m writing:
This is a story about a young woman who gets into all the wrong crowds.
And a story about a young man who is all the wrong crowds.
For everyone's sake, they should not fall in love.

About me:
I am a 20-somethin’ y.o intellectual crackhead, who like books, poetry, and anything else I like to get into (art, films, philosophy, culture, social commentary etc.). Talking books, I like classics, literary fiction, and sci-fi, but will read anything if it’s bad-funny enough.

Bonk Coin is going straight to the moon, boys 🚀
omg i’m so glad you mentioned those weird extremely sexual zombie and “crook” ads. i’ve been PLAGUED by them (pun intended), they’re so annoying. fr tho this was a really enjoyable video essay, im excited to see what else you write abt in the future!
You know what, they are sooo annoying! And every app on my phone has them, it's ridiculous! And Omgosh, thanks so much, I'm glad that my ramblings made some sense haha!
This was such an interesting video essay! Well researched and fascinating. The temu style of advertising has felt particularly insidious lately. It was great to hear you break the ethics down.
I had never seen the Crusha ad before and now I think I’m obsessed with it?
I’m also so interested in your serial novel!!
Thanks Reba! The temu ads sound particularly like they are trying to brainwash you 😅. I had to play the Crusha ad, the song is such a banger...UK ads in the 2000s were truly wild. Your interest in my novel means so much, honestly, I'm interweaving the story with artistic/cultural references, sorta David Foster Wallace Style. I want to make it into a quarterly magazine one day ahaha!
It’s like Fleabag made a program on my favorite subject and I love it. More please.
No way do I deserve such a compliment, man, thank you! I'll try my best 😆
I thought this channel would've been bigger... Great video essay!
You and me both ahaha 😂 No, seriously, I really appreciate it!
Fantastic video!!
Ahhh, thanks so much😆!
The thing i hate about ads now is how there has to be someone from every racial / gender / ethnic / orientation group in EVERY ad.
As soon I see one of them; I make sure I never buy the product.
I agree, it doesn't seem very genuine...
this video was really interesting, im glad i found your account
Thanks so much, I'm glad you're glad!
Awesome 👏
Thanks!!!😁👍
just ignore them you can't afford what they're selling you
True to be fair 😂
Or, hear me out, STOP BUYING CRAP y'all don't need or even, actually want.
That's actually a good option lol, but then again, how exactly am I supposed to shop like a billionaire???
idk how you found all of these weird ads… but thank you for putting yourself on the front lines of that 🫡
loolll, what can I say, I'm a soldier for the content 😂
