The Advertisement Net
The internet was once overly populated with pornography. Nowadays, internet porn makes up only about four percent of the entire web. Does that mean that the internet has turned into a valuable source of knowledge? Not so fast. In fact, the internet is now mostly populated by advertisements. It is so overtaken by the ads of big business that is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between the ads and the content you are supposedly watching and that is exactly the point. Content creators get paid handsomely to lie to their followers, to coax them into thinking that they are actually providing them with valuable advice. That is demonstrably false. Here are some internet advertising statistics taken directly from the advertisers themselves: Buyers Expect Digital Ad Spend to Increase 6% Over 2020, Compared to a 30% Fall in Traditional Media

But I am sure this all just in my head. I am sure that I am developing some sort of fantasy in my mind about this. I am sure that you really wanted to pay $1550 for some bed on Amazon you could have gotten for $800 in store. And I am also sure that no one could ever fool you. You are far too smart for that, too intelligent, too positive. You are in the in crowd after all so you would know. And why wouldn't you? Companies like Nike, Weight Watchers, Ford, Wells Fargo, Tesla, Google, Facebook, and so many more have paid millions of dollars to reassure you of this. They told you that you were too smart to fall for all the advertising. You know too much, so how could I possibly know anything that you don't? You have it your way (Burger King). You thrive (Kaiser). You just do it (Nike). And do you know what? That all makes sense seeing as how you think different (Apple). And just look at you, you're the best a man can get (Gillette). And hey, why should you stop? You are lovin' it after all (McDonald's). You think big (Imax). You taste the rainbow (Skittles). You think outside the bun (Taco Bell). You are high quality and quality never goes out of style (Levi's). You are better because you eat fresh (Subway). You are better because you belong anywhere (AirBnB). It's all for freedom and freedom for all (Harley Davidson) so sit down and open happiness (Coca Cola). This is the happiest place on earth (Disney)
