Is it just me or are so many commercials these days, (watching a show on ad-filled Hulu), extremely pointless?
I just watched a commercial for New Balance shoes, which wasn't evident until the very last 2-3 seconds. The whole commercial was nothing more than several young kiddos just dancing around in a studio.
I've been seeing commercials like this a lot lately and it makes absolutely no sense to me.
@see_the_sus Makes you wonder what they'll switch to when that approach stops working. (If it's even working now?)
Once in a blue moon I'll see an ad that goes, "Hey, this is our product, this is what sets us apart from competitors, and this is how you can buy it," and it's so refreshing I almost feel compelled to buy just to reward them. Still don't, though - screw forced advertising. :-)
Now I'm imagining a commercial that's nothing more than a person or persons staring blankly into the camera while white noise plays. At the end, there's a bright flash. Every commercial is like this except that the flash is a different color for the brand.
😂 good point!
Ugh, the whole idea of implants, beaming ads into my brain, those google glass eyeglasses... 🤢
@see_the_sus Ha, don't give them ideas. Though that does sound less obnoxious than a lot of stuff I see. Anything to keep them distracted from figuring out how to beam ads straight into our dreams, lmao.
