I had a shower thought the other day; what would the world be like if advertising didn’t exist?

No billboards or giant signs everywhere blocking our views. Content would be better because it wouldn’t be interrupted by commercials. But think of how much money is spent on advertising? Companies would have to invest that into other areas to be successful instead, such as cheaper and/or better quality products, or higher wages for their workers. Companies would have to work really hard to get a good reputation so their products could spread through word of mouth instead of using advertising to invade everyone’s space.

I’m sure there’s some downsides, but it sounds kind of amazing.

However, agents didn’t deliver the high-level arrests – and in the process, they lost track of hundreds of guns.

This is the shit I think of when I’m paying my taxes.

Or the cumbox. Or that kid who broke his arms. Or that dog, Colby I think? No wonder AI always wants to exterminate humanity in sci-fi.

The video was posted 14 years ago, so it could be 14 years old or newer.

Oh good, they caught him.

Well that’s a new one, didn’t expect any prophets or messiahs in 2024.

Well yeah, only half our politicians work for Putin, but 100% work for Netanyahu.
