Welcome to The Shitpost Office

Shitposts processed from 9 to 5, with occasional overtime on weekends.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not SinisterTreat others like fellow employees, not enemies in the breakroom.

  • No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
  • No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
  • Respect people’s time and space. We’re here to laugh, not to loathe

Rule 2: No Prohibited PostageSome packages are simply undeliverable. That means:

  • No spam or scams
  • No porn or sexually explicit content
  • No illegal content
  • NSFW content must be properly tagged

If you see anything that violates these rules, please report it so we can return it to sender. Otherwise? Have fun, be silly, and enjoy the chaos. The office runs best when everyone’s laughing.... or retching over the stench, at least.

I report ads as sexually explicit all the time. Annoying jingle? That's inappropriate sexual material. Same ad twice in an evening? Inappropriate sexual material. A company that supports the regime? You better believe that's inappropriate sexual material.

Every military ad I see immediately gets reported for threats of violence.

I do this for the ICE recruitment ads (🤮)

[–] LegoBrickOnFire@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You guys get ICE recruitment ads ??? what the heck

[–] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

I get the chesty gnome ad where she thanks her dear leader and then says a bunch of fascist shit.

Running ads during a shutdown while starving the rest of the government employees and SNAP recipients.

Years ago when I still used Facebook I reported a Black Rifle Coffee ad for violence.

Shockingly, Facebook got back to me and agreed it was inappropriate.

I've only ever reported a weird ASMR ad on Spotify as sexually explicit and that's because it is. Weird ass ad with a woman whispering into the mic about some trash.

I boycott anyone who advertises on YouTube. Google do 1% of the work and take 70% of the money. They can go fuck themselves. The only reason I use YouTube is because there’s so much stuff that simply isn’t anywhere else, they have a total monopoly.

I would, but i havent seen an ad on youtube in over a year

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

As much as I hate both ads and Google, your comment is horribly out of touch. You have no idea how expensive video hosting is if you think Google does 1% of the work. There is a reason they have a monopoly, YouTube has been making a loss for most of the time it has existed.

Why do the same amount of ads need to run for 4k and 144p?

[–] DrDystopia@lemy.lol 27 points 1 week ago

Strongly worded letter? Takes about 3 second to throw into the trash.

Bad review? Let's just flood the review section with AI bots.

Call company public contact number? Somebody has to pay for a phone operator to listen to me bitch - Albeight in a polite way as the phone operator first line economic wage slaves aren't to blame for shit? THAT SHIT COSTS MONEY!

So what do the fucccccs do? Save on money, have two phone operators so they can say there's a support line (Let's not talk about 63 hours waiting time when people phone in) - And then force people over on support chat, half of them won't even notice they're getting the run-around by a soulless machine...

EVERYBODY HATED THAT

Imagine seeing ads.

uBlock Origin.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 7 points 1 week ago

Why are you even accept having to watch ads? Firefox + ublock origin. Stop using a smart TV and connect a small linux PC to your TV.

Doing the lords work

Lol never thought I'd see that lady show up on a meme.

[–] catbum@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait, who is this and from what now?

It's a Netflix documentary. As if this chat isn't enough if a spoiler, check out:

Unknown Number: The Highschool Catfish

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She ruins any meme in which she's not presented as being a horrible person because that's all I can think of when I see her.

[–] LegoBrickOnFire@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Everyone should have adblocker. It is the moral thing to do. Ads are badly supporting creators as it promotes a race to the clickbaitiest, and centralisation around plateforms that can do arbitrary censorship. Just let the add business-model crumble and what will remain will be qualitatively better.

Just a guess about what a world withour ad-supported platforms could look like:

There will be fewer 4k videos of everything. But there will be options to pay for great content that is not made to boost your dopamine and is better for creators. Collaborative tools like wikipedia will strive, and we will see a return to blogs as a way to share knowledge freely as it requires little ressources to host. LLM generated blogs will disappear as there will be little incentive for the publisher. The cost of hosting and computer hardware will drop as we'll use way less ressources with low quality addictive content (that are used as a vehicle for ads)

I actually watch foreign commercials on YouTube on purpose. The ones from Japan are just always so out there.

[–] AlexLost@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

We don't, but they force them down our throat anyways. The people that own the things we love don't use them, they justake money off of them. What do they care?! Someone gives them money and we are still here consuming it.

[–] hexx@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 week ago

They don't give a shit about reviews. Refund it.

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 0 points 1 week ago

Don't block ads, click on all of them. AdNauseam.
