What I love about a Google search is the way they put the ads at the top of the \u2018finds\u2019. They already got a place heading for SHOPPING, but just in case you might\u2019ve missed a hot deal, they\u2019ll park some at the top of the list. Course, they\u2019ll add some more throughout the search results too. Don\u2019t ask me why, but I find this really annoying.<\/p>\n
But then again, welcome to Capitalist America. Television has ads to interrupt shows, newspapers have ads, magazines too, highways have billboards, athletes wear endorsements, the internet tracks our every click and offers you a related product. Thanks guyz! Corporations buy elections, corporations are considered citizens by the Supreme Court, corporations run the world. They advertise, they lobby, they own your ass, period.<\/p>\n
Now we got Facebook, Instagram, every social media platform, all monetized, all ethical considerations cast aside, well, what\u2019s new? What? You want state sponsored search engines, commercial free? I wonder, do Russia or China have ads on Tik Tok or Google. Are they selling vacation trips to the Black Sea or Outer Mongolia? Black market movies? <\/p>\n
It won\u2019t be long and we\u2019ll tattoo NIKE on our foreheads for a monthly stipend. Already you can find folks who \u2018wrap\u2019 their cars in logos of various companies for a price. I\u2019ve even heard of corporations wanting to put stratospheric billboards in space. There just doesn\u2019t seem to be anywhere you can go not to be assaulted by advertisements 24\/7 your entire life cradle to grave. Although \u2026 last time I whistled past a cemetery the plots didn\u2019t carry ads or logos. Rest in Peace \u2026 finally!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
