introvert extrovert, doesn't matter

I'm way too tired to finish my camp post so that will have to wait till later. SDD prelims were aaalright, could've been worse. Same for hiphop, at least it's over haha.

I really hate freaking advertisements everywhere. Like seriously, before it was just TV, I could deal with that. (Although the ad breaks are RIDICULOUSLY long & irrelevant anyways.) But now they're popping up freaking everywhere, I can't even count the number of times that I click on a link for something and I'm automatically redirected to some stupid ad, or the number of times I click on a link and an ad pops up and freaking multiples into five ads if you don't get rid of it straight away. ALSO those scroll over ads (?) where if you put your mouse on it it turns into a massive ass ad that takes up half your screen. And these ads are conveniently placed in places where you actually need to scroll over, so you have no choice but to see the stupid ad before getting on with whatever you're doing. As well as freaking ads that start by themselves and totally interrupt the music / video you're watching. Haven't you ever just been watching whatever, then this random voice saying 'The best type of laundry washing powder is ...' and you're like, where did that come from .. And there are ads that, when you pause them, they start going again after ten minutes, or when you close them (because they're blocking your screen), another one turns up? And last but not least, YOUTUBE ADS. Freaking hell youtube now hosts ads. Ads that you cannot skip, you cannot pause, you cannot fast forward. There are even ads where it says 'you can skip in five seconds', so you have to watch at least five seconds of the stupid ad before you can watch your video.

But advertisements that I hate the most are the ones that are like, 'YOU'LL SAVE ON SO MUCH MONEY', as if the companies actually care about your situation. Do they really think that people don't know that they're greedy corporal giants? Sigh.
