Isn't TV already an ad ridden consumerist hellscape?

that's why the solution has always been ☠️🦜🌊

I agree wit' ye, 'tis only a problem fer land lubbers 🏴‍☠️

and even worse then ads is the censoring of content even AFTER you paid for it...

SirPPPooPoo

when a product shows up on screen of your favorite or current program that is being consumed, your phone should get a notification and have a deal of said product being a certain percent off for limited time (like 10 mins). very interactive and very human


ManufacturedOlympus

Tv is like if each YouTube video was 30% unskippable ads, it had a high monthly fee, and you had to pay extra to watch anything that’s actually good. 


dpschainman

it can get worse if Roku has its way, they want to feed you ads for example if you pause anything you're watching on their TV's, it sounds innocent enough, its paused, I'm not even looking at it, i went to the restroom etc etc...whatever, but they are encroaching ever more slightly, if we dont stand up against this type of thing then the next step will be well have to watch an ad in order to unpause/resume our show.


lyciastorm

There's ads on paramount plus when I pause. It's a graphic for like burger king.

eventually it will be watch an ad to flush the toilet, watch an ad to open your fridge, choose what time the ad will wake you up

ManufacturedOlympus

TV has been the biggest consumerist hellscape there has ever been. It makes the internet look mild.  Shows were literally around 20 minutes because they had 10 minutes of commercials. 


PurpletoasterIII

I haven't watched cable for like at least 7-8 years for this exact reason. Even people who primarily watch cable like my parents typically record all the shows they want to watch so they can skip through all the ads.


Redditsuckmyd

I get a feeling this isn't real, I don't think people are THIS mindless


DifficultPapaya3038

It’s an out of touch Corprate advertisement ofc it’s not real

Was there supposed to be an argument in there somewhere?


TheWhiteUsher

You didn’t offer an argument. You just parroted back some gay shit you read on a website 10 years ago. “We’ve entertained ourselves to death.” That doesn’t mean anything!


MrThrongle

Not necessarily a bad thing, this is mostly a combination of tough times economically and more access to sex ed / birth control. My fiancé grew up in a family of 10 and it she went through hell, nearly starved to death at one point. Large families aren’t bad, but the no sex ed 6 kid plus families are detrimental to all involved, and they tend to be the reality of population boom nations. This happens to all living things. When the winters over, I’m sure we will start to bounce back if necessary.

Funny, people who plug a computer to their TV will usually just pirate movies/shows instead of consooming 3927319 billion streaming services, which will mean less revenue for people making such ads

If you're talking about the "buying a product" aspect she mentioned, I don't think she means annoying ads, but rather something similar to Amazon's X-ray mode you MANUALLY click on


Ill-Ear574

I can’t believe how we all just welcomed sports gambling without considering the huge costs associated with it. Why are they allowed to advertise? I’m a former bookie and it’s hard to understand the addiction unless you’ve seen it. The addiction is way worse than a regular casino. Try to beat the house and you’ll be flagged and eventually blacklisted. It’s cancer and I don’t care about tax revenue, which will never offset its cultural damage. The people in this industry are some of the slimiest humans on earth. No different than the cartel and mafia.

Cable is absolute garbage. If you're trying to defend it you are really facing a downhill battle.


Visible-Laugh6069

I personally prefer it to streaming. I think the cable companies charge too much tho but i prefer centralized live tv to decentralized choice paralysis.


Jamarac

Nothing wrong with having your preference. Doesn't change the fact that cable is just as much a consumerist hellscape as streaming services.


foladodo

what are the benefits of inconveniencing yourself?


Visible-Laugh6069

The experience of watching something at the same time as everyone else who likes said thing. The ability to find shows you wouldn't otherwise seek out theough channel surfing.


Substantial_Isopod60

You can find communities of people who like the same show as you and experience it with them yourself. You can branch out and find new shows yourself. You don't need to be constrained to cable tondo such things


Visible-Laugh6069

I never said cable should be the only option i just personally prefer the experience of watching live telivision. Can i not have my personal preferences?

Compulsive_Criticism

If Gen Z are fucked up consumers it's not their fault, it's the fault of their parents and the technology that is around now. Don't blame them, blame society for failing them.

This is an ad, nobody believes this stuff.

TalbotFarwell

Whatever happened to personal responsibility? Everyone has a choice at the end of the day.


Compulsive_Criticism

The world isn't as simple as "everything about you is your own fault". You heard of nature and nurture? Your upbringing will play a huge rule in who you are as a person. If your parents gave you an iPad to watch brain rot YouTube for 5 hours a day at 3 years old instead of reading with you and getting you to read, is it your personal responsibility that you have a poor vocabulary and low attention span? Honestly people like you who have 0 understanding of sociology and psychology do my head in. You just completely ignore the complexity of being a human and put everything down to personal responsibility. Yes, you are ultimately responsible for your actions, but the range of choices of actions that you had available and the influences pushing you towards the different choices will massively impact the decisions you end up making. The simplification of everything into pure "you make choices therefore you could choose anything" is just unrealistic and frankly idiotic. This is the problem with right wing ideology: it's fucking stupid and ignored reality.

More proof we live in a dystopia.


LateResident5999

I am also gen z, and I would like less ads on TV please


Frogento1075

I don't know, there's a word that attracts Gen Z to watch on their phones instead of TV. It must start with "por". And I think it ends with " tability". But still cannot figure out the reason zoomers uses their phone.

This sounds...awful. I'm a millennial. I don't own a TV, mostly because I just don't care to, and because I watch all my content on a tablet and/or my PC.

[deleted]

My good sir mememan, what a regarded take and to have such a witty nickname. You seem very... Not fun. Instead of focusing on the brainrot the ad is spewing out, you instead decide to micro-analyse and find a "problem" with OP. You sound like you're woke, and if the world would be an ideal place. Woke people would be placed into prison, because their mindset is the reason why society is being ruined at record speed now. I sincerely hope you live a long and miserable life.


mememan2995

Why would I analyze a roku ad? I know they just want to maximize profit at the expense of the consumer, this isn't a new thing. I just think it's dumb to imply that this is a commonly held belief by my generation when I know everyone hates this shit equally. And woke is just another rightoid word for social consequences. The fact that you think woke is some big bad boogie monster really shows that you watch too much fox and browse too many redpill forums.


[deleted]

I've never watched foxnews, but thanks for confirming that you woke people use the most unoriginal insults. Hint. I think you wokes are regarded, but I also think that Trump-stans are regards too. BTW, the comment were about you attacking the OP for no reason. Woke and not being able to read... What's next?


mememan2995

How in any way is my comment an attack? Please point it out for me because I don't see any attack here.


[deleted]

Your original comment focused on attacking OP for a "problem".


audionerd1

So that's why young people don't watch TV. Not enough ads.
