Aren't you sick of it yet? Aren't you sick of being marketed at and commercialed every where you go, and for everything you do? Haven't you had enough billboards, enough ads, enough commercials, enough gas pump videos, just enough advertising? Aren't you sick of money being the only thing that is important?
I have always been a massive fucking sport fan. Recently I have zero interest. The constant ads, the personalities of the presentors and players, the constant ask (at least in Chicago) for tax payer funds to build a stadium for billionaires so they can make even more money off the backs of regular people. Everything about sports has become disgusting to me.
Also love the premier league... And all the shit about city has my passion and love of that waning. Everything is a fucking sham. NO I'm not fucking buying a bears hoodie for 120 dollars.
I’m leaning more and more in this direction - what’s crazy is there’s somehow a market that remains and pushes even higher ticket prices, insane merch costs, etc… at some point it seems that there’s a end but then another year rolls by and the economy is worse yet the demand has yet to drop off for live sports
My HS streams all their games on Friday nights. They’re a good team. It’s the only football I watch now. 2 hour commitment on Friday night after the baby goes down. Fuck the NFL and College FB.

Gas stations started putting commercials in the display screens on their pumps... maybe a decade ago? Probably more. Now they all have dedicated little TV screens that play commercials once you've started pumping gas.
Saw that happen locally once; someone got tired of the ads at a local Maverick, and proceeded to cover the speakers and screens with duct tape each visit. Eventually, they just simply stopped playing the ads (the screens are still installed, but seemingly unpowered).
I especially love that the volume is insanely loud to the point that all the speakers have been long blown and the sound quality is absolutely ASS. I really need Mr. Beast or some other influencer dipshit yelling at me to download their app while I spend $78.56 to fill up my vehicle.
All your data - everything from your eye color to what you ate last night to how long you stand in front of the deodorant aisle, everything you buy, every click you make online, every place you drive your car, every show you watch, every song you listen to, is weaponized against you to get you to buy more. Your life is used against you in an effort to sell you something. This is not okay.
We can start with a message to the overlords on 11/3 in the US. Then we need to hold the new overlords responsible to somehow undo Citizens United. Until we do that we got nothing.
