People who love ads are a stain upon society and an indictment of the educational system.

Depends what you mean in all honesty, old ads were an art form at times which were as much entertainment as they were selling s product. My go to example being Billy Mays, that fucking cake pan commercial, or zoo pals but admittedly those days are largely gone.

Fuck Advertising. I put lineageOS on my phone and run no google or meta apps, don't watch TV either. I've barely seen an ad since Christmas and I couldn't be happier. If advertisements were banned the world would be a better place.

The "joy" of advertisement? Who the fuck enjoys that garbage?
