What's life like in advertising these days? When I was a child you could buy a commercial during the Saturday morning cartoons to sell your toy (or buy the whole cartoon) and you could put your car commercial on during the Evening News.
And you'd reach most of your "demographic."
But now? a maze of influencers and fragmented media (I don't think influencers really matter much, they are just the most familiar item in the new landscape for advertisers.)
@futurebird the public. For example, if you are waiting, there are two ways to avoid waiting becoming suffering. You can either find something interesting to think about, or do the mindfulness thing and intentionally keep words out of your head.
Neither option is possible if there is an ad playing. Medical ads are the worst. Health fear is one of the worst mental states, and deliberately inducing that is just evil. When those ads are playing, I get out of the supermarket faster, and buy less.
