      Great point.

      You gotta remember, this generation of idiots actually enjoys watching ads. Every year they gather around to watch the most egregiously expensive ads and debate which one is the ‘best’ while children starve.

      They are substantially cheaper to make and therefore have a greater profit margin because they can charge more for the advertising space.

      These types of comments from companies are for investors and not a warning to consumers of what is coming.

        Counter argument: advertisement is shit, except it is less than shit because shit can fertilize a field. It is neither improved nor depreciated by human involvement. Every moment of human effort expended in producing advertising could be better spent on anything else.
