    Marketing just isn’t adjusted to people with autism because they are only a small part of the population.

    They can definitely manipulate you if they so desire.

        I feel like about 4% of all the comments on Lemmy are just people telling each other they use an adblocker

        Do you listen to the radio or live in a state with billboards? Do you go anywhere in public? Lots of places you can’t block advertisements…

          Dude, you’re talking about people with autism and on lemmy. Do you really think it’s a stretch that they wouldnt leave the house? Most of us left reddit because they stopped letting us browse the way we want with the app we want.

          Who tf listens to radio? I haven’t turned the radio on in my car since I got it in 2017. I don’t even know it it works, nor do I care.

          The most a billboard has ever gotten from me is an eye roll and cringe. I’m focused on driving or my phone as a passenger. Advertisements do not enter my home or my work.

          It’s a huge fucking culture shock when I see an advertisement. People are really out here still sitting through multiple minutes of ads. YouTube ads that will play for hours if you don’t press skip. I didn’t know this shit existed til I saw it on my friends TV and I convinced them to at least pay for YouTube premium.

          I do not fuck with ads, my guy. They exist but they don’t exist in my sphere of influence.
