5 Reasons You Need an Ad-Blocker

Japanese ads can feel noisy, confusing or just plain weird — but none of it is accidental. Copywriters bend grammar, skip verbs and use puns to make you want to spend your cash. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2026/02/02/language/commercial-advertising-japanese-phrases/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #language #nihongo #vocabulary #grammar #advertising #jlptn2

Looking at billboards and bus stops it feels like offline ads are out of fashion. I see ad posters for events hat happened months ago, public ads for museums and messages from the public transport organisations themselves.
Is it just me (my city) or do others notice that too?

It is *quite* funny to me that people are at all shocked or surprised about ads being rolled out on Threads or Netflix or whatever. It's only going one way. Increased profit for the shareholders. Noone is rolling back on commercial advertising. There'll be adverts in your soup next. Your sink. Your toilet. Hello I am your toilet roll and I have some great news about deals *muffled noises* for you!

Remember that company that promised to send you a 55" 4K TV for "free" by subsidizing it with a second screen filled with always-visible ads? It looks like they've only had 35,000 takers since launching in 2023. https://www.lowpass.cc/p/telly-35000-tvs-10-percent-breakage #Telly #Advertising

Nova Launcher has been acquired and resurrected, new versions will be rolling out with updates, bug-fixes and..... advertisements.
Yup, it sucks, not only are ads already showing up in the free version, but a dig through the code has revealed a lot of extra callbacks to Facebook & Google for ads and other services
