Hmm. You only buy things you don't need because of ads? You only lose money and get nothing in return, every time? That's a shame.
Sad you don't understand how ads work
Eh. Perhaps you're right. I just know that on a personal level, I have purchased goods and services learned about through ads over time that have enhanced my life and allowed me to have meaningful experiences and create memories with the people I care about I wouldn't have otherwise had. Perhaps I'm naive, but it seems awfully silly and shortsighted looking back to have missed out in exchange for a knee-jerk angry reaction to anyone trying to sell me something.
