Why so many

[justgamma]

pro- Trump ads? I'm sick of them and don't know why they are airing every 15 gosh darn minutes.

1. Because you watch TV, or maybe some common AM radio stations?

I live peacefully without TV, have for over 10 years. I have the heart rate data to prove it.

And AM only for meaningless sports radio. One DHS ad this year and a lot of "Too bad for you" limp wang repair ads.

As much classical radio as possible. Only one weak FM station, so I stream over the internet. BP device needs batteries, but it's always fine.

Oldies station on AM keeps me young. 50,000 watts nearby. Ads for furniture and tractor repair only.


I get tons of news via DU and Hacker News, and I choose what to read and what to ignore, not some program director. It's entirely low-emotion, unlike media, which love to shock you.

I block every damn ad on the internet.

2. Cutting tv out of one's life is really quite beneficial!

I've not watched tv in well over 10 yrs eithet & I'm sure I'm better off for skipping the continual barrage of drama they create & feed on.

5. This is the way

lol television lol

8. Every time I tell someone that I haven't had a T.V. for 15-20 years, they say "That's great!"

But when I go volunteer with my clients, many of them have the idiot box running.

I sort of feel the same way about broadcast radio - it's a linear presentation that leads one to listen drivel in between the content.

Being able to see a list of headlines and abstracts and then decide (on my time) what I want to watch/listen to is how I get my fixes.

9. Yes. I scan (DU and Hacker News) and get all the bullet points, and I alone decide where to spend my attention.

People want top dollar for their used cars and zilch for their precious time and lives.

I can't even tolerate more than a minute of online videos. I can't sit still spending 30 minutes for a paragraph's worth of information.

4. Where are you seeing them?

I don't have cable. I see them rarely on Youtube and immediately back out of the video when I do. If we all turn them off when they appear, it might tell the ad buyers to stop buying them
.Most shows can be finished later on demand.

6. Where do you live?

I live in Jax FL and have not seen any pro traitor ads for awhile. I did see 1-2 a few months ago, late at night, but nothing since. I almost always reflexively mute the ads when they come on, as I did those times and was so glad not to hear the lying drivel.

7. Because Trump is desperate to improve his ratings and can now spend taxpayer dollars to try to do so.
