    Marketing, particularly Ads people. They exist only to hype shitty products, primarily. Sure they might get eyeballs on unknown brands, but I feel like that’s not what they are paid big bucks for.

      I want to also ad the people who are determined to put ads on FUCKING EVERYTHING. I grew up in the 90s, I remember when gods damn gas pumps were silent… I remember when the flashiest thing we saw on the store was when the soda displays were made into cool shapes… Get off my lawn and take your damn roofing company sign with you.

      I miss ads from the 60s-80s that were just a info-dump on the product with very little hype. You actually got to learn about what they were trying to sell you instead of a bunch of bullshit and a logo at the end.
