I've got two off the top of my head:
First is that the design of the USB drives needing to be oriented up or down was the result of a minor cost cutting choice. The inventor regrets it because it wouldn't been easy made so that USB drives were reversible.
Second is the abundance of pointless SEO stuff on recipe pages. It would be a cool opportunity for the creator to add a personal touch to the recipe page beneath the recipe, but they pop in first along with ads and suggested links. And they're so frustrating to navigate that they had to incorporate a 'jump to recipe' button.
I dont really go out much aside to work and I have 678 adblockers and don't watch TV or listen to the radio and I steal all my media, so I rarely encounter ads.
so when I do it lights a fury inside me
Same. I borrowed a Hulu premium account and when a car commercial started playing 5 minutes in I closed it and downloaded the show.
It's so immersion breaking too.
imagine paying for the privilege of ads
Tried to watch Shape of Water on Hulu on a day off and the first ad at 12 minutes destroyed that plan
I really need to get a VPN and another SSD
Holy shit when someone wants to show me a video and I see the experience of what most people get it blows my mind these days. I was essentially able to cut out all advertisements out of my life a few years ago and I genuinely think it's had a profound impact on my mental health. How did this shit get so fucking normalized.
Every time I am forced to see ads where they are otherwise blocked at home (such as at a bank or doctor's office) I see them getting measurably more obnoxious with each months-later snapshot since the last time I saw them.
