Advertising needs to become as socially acceptable as smoking.

It pollutes any environment it’s conducted in, and causes secondary harms to non-participants by incentivising insecure hoarding of PII.

I would vote to allow smoking indoors again if it meant no more ads.

PII: Personal Identifiable Information, presumably. A new acronym to me, but needed, thanks.

Advertising, even without PII, is blasting people with brain worms. I abhor it, always have. It's been 60+ years and I can still remember every word of the Winston jingle from TV ads. I was just a kid, but there's no way to evict it from my head.

Lemmy and the tiniest personal blogs are the only media you can consume that doesn't blast brain worms.
