I'm convinced that advertising is mostly just capitalists scamming each other.
Sometimes it feels like the American economy, the tech sector at least certainly, is basically just a series of pyramid schemes that are all sort of loosely connected and propping each other up.
I've had this thought, but was never able to put it so succinctly. The whole industry is rich people paying other rich people way too much money to advertise an item that everyone in the world knows exists... It's weird.
rubes who aren't yet being scammed when the overhead for scams is calculated in cents and minutes are an inefficiency in the market.
What I'm seeing is that capitalism has quite literally found a way to make people pay for not eating food.
As with all garbage scam ads, for time immemorial, they are garbage on purpose. Why waste your time with vaguely credulous people, when you can narrow it down to the most vulnerable and incredulous population possible?
You don't fall for the obvious scam because you aren't the target. Your grandpa, or your neurodiverse friend, are the target.
oh, bother. im so stuffed with fluff, i'm dummy thicc, and the clap of my glass cheeks alerted the beessssssss
Death to America
I instinctively glanced at this, saw AI slop, and scrolled past hurriedly to avoid letting any information get into my head from it.
Then I though "wtf, hexbear doesn't have ads?" and came back to say it's a shitty ad
Thanks for your contribution
Finally a picture of a person made out of a bottle of beer doing a poop. Thanks late stage capitalism!

They're using lazy, trashy AI art for ads, cuz they're too stingy to hire an actual artist. Unprofessionalism at it's peak.
