    The lemmy post about them feeling gross was relatable. Like everyone’s so fake enjoying [product] and you’re just watching asking "how does this convince anyone to buy [product]

      Doesn’t everyone feel this way about ads? I don’t feel like the advert algorithms ever get a good lock on me. On the few occasions I’ve gotten adverts it has been for things like “Visit the UAE” or “Visit Dubai” and a lot of pregnancy and feminine hygiene related stuff.

      I’m a gay man. Pretty sure I’d get stoned to death in Dubai/UAE, and pregnancy is just not on the menu for me.

      This is me with those stupid “Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx” ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).

      To their credit, they’ve stopped claiming they’re cheaper than groceries

        This thread is so wild, I haven’t seen ads in so long (unless you count ads disguised as organic posts.)

        I don’t know any of these things. Everyone needs a PiHole.

          I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven’t noticed? A lot of the time I’m using Snapchat out of the house, I haven’t bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)

            I don’t think it can block Snapchat or YouTube ads :c

            Ublock works a dream on YT, but I don’t use Snapchat so I don’t have a solution for that.
