Ads can be the most annoying thing in the world. I know for me they are. Everywhere I go I see ads. I see them on the computer, I see them on my phone, television, my email, websites, billboards you name it there they are. The most annoying place for ads to be is on the T.V. The reason I say it’s annoying is because when I’m watching a show I don’t want to be interrupted. I know this will never come to be where there are no ads, but I would love for these to just go away. I understand that these ads and commercials are a way of getting a companies brand out there and being noticed, but I feel like maybe we can change this.
Maybe if we happen to see an ad we can get the option of choosing whether it comes back or not, making it a one time thing or a recurrent thing. That way the people who don’t want these ads have the option of taking it off permanently after viewing the ad once. I will admit that most ads annoy me but there are some ads that I do enjoy seeing.
The ads I enjoy to see are ads for new clothing that may fit my style or ads about new foods that are out or the newest deals. Those ads are the ones I enjoy. During the Super Bowl a lot of the ads or commercials are funny and they crack me up a lot. See, not all ads or commercials are bad. It says in the book that through these ads is a way for the corporations to connect with the consumers (us) to develop their brands and although I do understand that they are trying to make people interested all they really do is annoy people.
Without a doubt they are the death of me while watching T.V., get in the way of me being on my laptop & going on websites & are by far the worst invention created. Do you feel like ads are just as annoying as well? Are there any ads that you might consider watching and enjoying or some that might be of use to you?
