    What kind of stupid take is this? I avoid ads because I find them annoying. It doesn’t supercharge the ones I can’t avoid.

      It’s two fold: ads are annoying, and they actually work to slowly make you less happy without the advertised product.

        I am unhappy that the product exists in any way, regardless of my having it or not. The only thing that would make me desire the object more, is if it kills billionaires. Always tempting, those ones.

        I’ve never seen a Taco Bell add and thought I was missing out. I’m not suddenly craving plastic looking food.
