Advertising ~~targeted towards minors~~ needs to be banned.

Advertising itself isn't a bad thing.

This is one of those bizarre Lemmy echo chamber things. I've never seen this sentiment that advertising is evil and should be stopped at all costs anywhere else but on Lemmy it's super common. Idk where it comes from. I get that advertising kind of sucks but it just seems like a weird thing to get so passionate about especially considering how many other things are wrong with the world. Sorry you're getting downvoted to hell, you're not crazy, Lemmy is.
