That's the least of it! What's worse is that you're paying with your MENTAL HEALTH, because by their nature, ads are designed to make you feel like something is wrong with your life (and that buying the product can fix it).

Thank you! I was always morally opposed to ads. Glad to have another great reason to shun them

Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.
