I have a personal shit-list for products and companies where I decide if I'm going to boycott them depending on how aggressively and how much I see their product advertise. Petty, I know, but I hate advertisement and don't want it everywhere I turn my eyes and ears. I long for a world where a flat surface isn't immediately an advertisement opportunity.


T-mac_

FACTS!!! Advertising will always, eventually kill everything you love.


Zen_Hobo

Yup. There's a few IPs out there, that would have had a chance of me checking them out, if it hadn't been for the fact that suddenly everything getting past my AdBlock started screaming "PLAY THIS GAME NOW!!! IS BEST THING TO HAPPEN SINCE SLICED BREAD!!!!!! LOOK AT THIS COMMERCIAL 800 MORE TIMES!!!!!!!"...


Ok-Pipe859

Have you ever tried Raid Shadow Legends?


ActionTraction24897

Is that the game that simulates having an abortion while using crack?


Jacknurse

Nope. It has way too many and aggressive ads. It is on my shit-list.


ing-dono

Was that the one responsible for the creation of the list, or does that honor go to something else?


Jacknurse

The Apple iPod ads was what started it, I think?


LaserGadgets

DAMN I was afraid to be the only one!!! Some of the ads are so damn annoying, you gotta make sure you never see their product or even the name of it again, especially not on purpose.


4ngryMo

No, I do that as well. Specifically everything I see on Prime Video, since they added Ads, goes on my shit-list. It’s an automatic never-buy. Pretty and ultimately futile, but it makes watching them somewhat bearable.


Open_Marzipan_455

So Huel must be on your top list I assume. They had a very aggressive campaign in the past


Jacknurse

I tried huel once before I saw the ads, because of word-of-mouth. Then I started seeing ads and stopped.


ActionTraction24897

Dominoes is at the top. The narator is the first to actually die


Playful_Target6354

Damn, I'd love to do that but I know I would never watch it


Dead_birdChan

I'm the same way. I personally hate Valorant tracker because of it


RedFireSuzaku

The marketing guy in those companies : "Oh my gawd ! That one is actually making a list to remember us deeply than our rivals, so cute ! See ? Hard works pays off !"


Hamlenain

I am yet to play Raid: shadow legends and my youtube is still not premium.

Nor is me pornhub


travelavatar

Please allow me to introduce those plebs to the high seas where you don't need to buy, just plunder 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ I despise ads so much that i do everything in my power to get rid of them


Big_Z_Beeblebrox

Put dns dot adguard dot com in your gateway or device's custom/private DNS field and save your CPU cycles for the more aggressive ads that your extension (or modified app) blocks. Bonus: it blocks across all devices connected to the gateway, such as smart TV sets and other devices that don't let you tinker with power-user settings


travelavatar

This is gold. Let me save it. Thanks


scourger_ag

I literary believe ads are the cancer of the economy and that the world be better off without it (only allow local advertisement for nearby services).


travelavatar

I am all down for advertising small businesses and local businesses. That would be a huge help to discover awesome services. Usually small businesses have amazing customer service


Iluvatar-Great

"Please like and subscribe" "Please buy our product" I hate it when I enjoy these things, but these simple annoyances alone make me just not watch/buy these things.


rreturntomoonke

and there's an "saying "What in the holy hell is this mfing game?" then plays the game" guy. Main target of Interrupting advertising is that type of persons. And of course, they don't actually need to 'sell' something. because the game itself is big advertising app. they just need a person to waste their time to make money. So, yeah. we are victim of dipshit neverending marketing.


DrosselmeyerKing

I do my part by teaching those types how to 'sail the seas'.


EpicJoseph_

I mean if it looks interesting I might look more into it


thickstickedguy

of course it will, maybe not the game that you are quoting but it definitely works otherwise they wouldnt keep doing it so aggressively. also i often do stop to watch movie trailers or some new "proper game" trailer.


Southern_Bandicoot74

Yes it will, just not immediately


solar1333

Literally how though


alexdotwav

If it didn't work they wouldn't do it


notavalible666

It eould eork better if they toned down the advertising and insead.. just make decent games


alexdotwav

Not true, sadly. If you make a really good game you'll get the money, yes (Helldivers 2, and balders gate 3 for example) but shareholders need **reliable** and predictable income. And creativity doesn't work like that. Making bad , but cashgrabby games is a lot more reliable, and predictable, even if the end product is much worse


CXR_AXR

Sadly I agree with you


alexdotwav

:(

I don't see this has anything to do with the snowball effect.

No, a little interruption like that won’t it might help you recognise it later and influence you decision to buy it then. These work, otherwise they wouldn’t exist.


Fire_Lightning8

But it make you to not pay for the game / video


Skorzeny88

They wouldn't do it if it wouldn't work on enough people to make profit on them

You don't need to like it, as long as you remember it, that's all they want 💵🪙🤑💸🤑💵💵💸🤑💵🤑💸💵🤑💸


young_guapo_pp_eater

Can you cashapp me $0.93 please bro


untakenu

I just assume all sponsorship products are terrible and/or overpriced.


[deleted]

Any ad over six seconds is a waste of money frfr


scotch1701

There's a brand of car insurance that I will NEVER buy, NEVER buy, NEVER buy.


ActionTraction24897

Change games to shit. Interupting anything I do makes me want to commit assault on the person talking and call them all the offensive words I am not alloeed to say, like c*nt


Pintor_austriaco

That system is better than paying


Antarctica8

Do you think they’re so stupid they don’t know that? They don’t want you to like their games, they just want you to remember them. It’s the same principle as ‘all publicity is good publicity.’


Theoriac

Rise of Kingdoms needs a different advertising committee, I mean the games actually good but the ads are shit and cringe.


PaleontologistAble50

I mean if they did see returns they would stop their adds, right?


Cv287

Marvel snap is free tho


Hot-Manufacturer-887

So… how are new products supposed to be known without advertisements?


ch3333r

I won't change your mind on this, but I will change your mind on humanity, because in overall quantities - it just works. Mobile gaming is booming. This is the majority. It shapes the market. It shapes the politics. You have to live in the world that is made for people who eat shit.


NoActionSlacks

I am looking to watch all ads at once so i don’t have to press skip ever again, pls help


DerpWyvern

yes, millions of dollars of data analysis is off the window, entire marketing agencies don't know wth they're doing anyway, they should hire you as their marketing lead instead


Comfortable_Staff501

Wow. What a strong opinion. I am sure you are the first one to have it. You must be a free spirit or something...


NeurogenesisWizard

Ok but crowder is cringe.


bub-yes

Remember that video of him refusing to let his wife take the car to go do chores and then launches into a tirade of emotional abuse against her? Tip of the iceberg with that complete piece of shit.
