I don’t think this is an answer for a systemic level problem.

Why not?

It’s probably the only way. If ads work by being inconspicuous and manipulates people by making us believe we need something we don’t by making us feel inadequate and scared and envious through cultural appeals why wouldn’t it work in reverse by making more people aware what ads are and secondly by showing people these products suck. If every ad dollar needs to risk having counter advertising they will stop or just make it legal or ban everyone who does it with the help of admin and mods. Either way it’s a win for all of us systematically.

We all shit post already. What’s an extra few comments to call out the people who have ruined all our favorite places.

You’re asking people to individually act against a systemic issue every time they see it.

Don’t we do that everyday with crazier and less important things.

I just watched a 40 min video online where 4chan collectively trolled tumbler over Steven universe skin color.
