Yeah it's really bizarre how we just accept that there's this massive industry dedicated solely to emotionally manipulating people into buying shit. If it wasn't reality and we just saw it portrayed in a sci-fi movie, we'd think "this movie is dumb, why would people ever put up with that kind of bullshit existing?"
Right? Now we have people claiming you have a moral obligation to watch ads because they support X or Y. Bizarre is a good word.
