Advertising on the internet has always been pretty awful. I wish it would just stop.
The problem is that they always want more. It's not enough to make money. So the ads and intrusive garbage gets worse and worse until we reach an unusable nightmare.
TV shows have banner ads during the show. Everyone wants to send you notifications. Even cars are starting to have ads on their screens.
It's exhausting.
Corporations don't want to make a little money, they don't want to make enough money, they don't want to make a lot of money, they want to make all the money.
We really shoulda nipped that bullshit in the bud decades ago.
Tuned into watch Nhl this year. My god. There are fast moving full colour animations on the boards. Right in the middle of the action in one of the fastest moving contact sports with a tiny puck you're trying to keep track of. It's unwatchable. Had to just use it like a radio station and only watch when there was a highlight.
