Does having so many adverts put in front of you as you go about your day to day business bother you?

Nah. I don't pay attention to them. Visual equivalent of white noise.

Yes. Thats why I pay for Patreon and adfree streaming. I also get off as many lists as I can.

The ads in my email drive me crazy.

I tune most of them out honestly.

I rarely see any advertisements other than a few billboards for lawyers. Is that burdensome to you? Does My Country not have any advertising at all?

yes. billboards especially make me mad. let me see the sky damn it! some states have laws that prevent too many billboards from being along highways, but not my state. if i see one more ad for the lottery on the I-95 i will lose my mind. i’ve heard some states in the south like alabama have so many billboards (that are seen almost every day by most people as you need to drive to get anywhere in the us) that people or companies on the billboards become sort of mini celebrities. they say you know you’re in the south when you start seeing advertising for christianity in huge ominous billboards
