    I can always tell when my wife is on some ad cuz it’s just the idea out of no where with no context. The more distant from social media you get the more you see it influencing others.

      It’s also so weird how different people react to it. I roll my eyes the whole time and skip past it, I figured that is what everyone did (except for mbmbam sometimes if they have good jokes during it. I have never even considered trying out one of the products. I always figure those who have to rely on advertising extremely heavily are shit, like Raycons and BetterHelp.

        My wife actually buys a bunch of this shit. We’ve got packages arriving from China almost weekly and I hate it.

        There’s only been one of her influenced buys that has been any good, but I’d trade it for not having a Chinese garbage dump for a house.

      My SO comes to me and literally plays the reel then says “WE NEED THIS” or “WE HAVE TO DO THIS”.

      Hahaha both my spouse and I are instantly dubious on anything advertised in a podcast or on YouTube. The only exception was I snagged NORB a few years back cuz I got letters from my ISP about the Linux distro I had been torrenting. I haven’t got a letter since, so I have no complaints.
