Activists of YA discussion

What commercial ads annoy you the most?? This is random but we need a place to rant about them...

Any of the ads that aren't catchy or interesting. Or if they make absolutely no sense. It's like: what the heck are you trying to tell me?! I also hate those ads about cold medicine, you know, the ones where they have the little green guy who's supposed to be a germ? I have no idea why, but those ads tick me off.

All those thousands of *Insert something* month matters, it's not even that I 100% disagree with them, it's just that its so overdone. Like for LGBTQ month, I don't think we need one, I feel like we don't deserve one until we can sort out our own bias against Bisexuals (Aka me, yay) and by far not every other add on tv has to be related to it.

I get one for grub hub Girl Scout cookies every single time

Rip

Spotify ads are the worst

I like those ads, something interesting to listen to instead of people trying to sell me things.

Ya, maybe less of them would be nice, at the same time though, I prefer them because they are not trying to sell me things.

SIMPLY PIANO

Real men identify as men, simple. Real women identify as women, simple. (Having matching genitals is optional, you can get the newest DLC for it)

I agree, it can be annoying but it's the only way the creator gets money from his work. You consume their content for free, so watching an ad isn't that bad. :)

Ya, just ignore it, unless it's long don't skip it or they are not paid as much at least on YouTube.

YouTube is getting comfortable with the 15 sec no skip ads

The Grammerly adds *eyeroll*
I already use Grammerly and i'm just like "why r u showing me this?"
(I know they have no way to know I already have the browser extension, it's still rlly annoying)

I hate the ads for the oodie, I get them on every social media platform I have

Ugh I hate the commercials for medicine because it’s always the same thing. Some random people doing something fun in half slow motion but the person with the problem is always leaving the fun activity and then when they take the medicine they’re happy and fun again. It’s that same thing for every commercial.

Omg grammarly ads suck lol

Spotify ads

It's like they're telling me that it's my fault I'm listening to this adds in middle of song.
I never mind ads, they're the only way to earn for most creaters on YouTube but the Spotify ads are disrespectful.
I mean, I'm sorry I'm a teen and broke and couldn't pay to listen to music. You don't have to taunt me

I haven’t missed them. I have Spotify premium

any ad that advertises the company's sub-brand (idk what its called lmao)
so like a sub-brand would be yt music, and the brand itself would be yt
same for spotify, so like for spotify it would be spotify premium and the brand itself would be spotify
LIKE ITS SO ANNOYING HOW THEY ADVERTIZE THEMSELVES

….all of them

same
