I’m working thru a marketing cert via Google rn (working with the enemy) and I just learned how many ads we’re exposed to on a daily basis!

Any guesses?

Tap for spoiler

4000-10000

ads per day !!!

      The odds of that are very near zero. They’re including things like brand names and logos as ads. The Lemmy logo itself would be considered an ad

      They’re not getting numbers in the thousands by only including intrusive ads

        That’s rather silly. Might as well include road signs “advertising” places to go and how far away they are.

      I’ll see 3-5 digital ads, on my phone at lunch in 20 mins, everything else is 100% ad free. I grew up with 80s tv commercials, nothing affects me now, lol, I also haven’t had cable in, woah, 25 years Also not from the states

      Are there no billboards where you live? Do businesses not advertise their services there? Do you just stay inside with your eyes closed while being either above or below average?
