Fun fact: strawberry was admitted to the psychiatric yard once pepper and cucumber joined the berry club.

In the early 00s, here in my city, it was fun to go to a certain pedestrians-only avenue to drink with friends. Or a date. If you do it now - yes, post-COVID lockdowns! - you can't hold a conversation for five fucking minutes without someone interrupting you with advertisement. As a result, people use that avenue nowadays strictly to commute.

I've ditched TV when I was 14. (I don't regret it.) But plenty people told me that open TV, and then cabled TV, became unbearable due to the sheer amount of advertisement.

Unless I recognise the number, I'm not bothering to pick the phone up any more. I'm probably not the only one doing it.

Are you noticing the pattern? Perhaps the internet suffers a bit more with it because people are a bit freer to do what they want here, but the problem is not exclusive to the internet, it's everywhere advertisers appear. The world has become less fun due to advertisers ("how do people DARE to have fun and ignore our «marketing opportunities»?").
