May I offer you a previously viral, now stale meme with your updoot simulator?

 

If you ever feel hopelessly useless, remember that every reddit ad has a vote widget that does absolutely nothing. And, at least that, is not your fault.

the house of the dead updoots

I do not fear monsters under my bed or in my darkened closet, nor do I fear retirement, which is just as imaginary.

Average parabola denier.

Yeah, I have much more respect for someone trying to rebuild from nothing than some chamber of commerce, yacht club douche.

What if there is a secret fifth option that is the son of a car dealer?

Of course it is, but it's not their voices we will hear, it's the voices of museum directors loosing massive subsidies. I don't mean to imply that individual artists won't be hurt, that's already a given, I'm just saying media won't focus attention on them.

FashSantis is a POS. But the sad truth is that Arts funding is sparse and threadbare everywhere. And attitudes about the importance of art in our lives is at an all time low. Now with the last few career opportunities getting smothered from existence by crap AI gen stuff, it's hard to believe anyone really gives a shit about art whatever state they are from. We never use the phrase Starving Hedge fund manager, or starving sysadmin, but far more people are a-ok talking about starving artists.
What will be interesting is the fact that Miami is a major fine art hub. This is going to piss off wealthy art owners much more than some artist trying to scrounge together a living off increasingly dwindling art grants.

Yes, it was graphic design all along.

How could we not see that a symbol would want to put plastic in our balls?

We are the dumbest for not noticing that all along.

The thing is, it's only a ROI if any of those passengers converts to a buyer. The act of seeing an ad creates no value for the manufacturer unless they are converted to a buyer. What you are describing is a market that has the consumer (ad watcher) almost completely removed from the conversion of capital. Being forced to watch an ad, in this case, only benefits the airline by their receiving ad revenue. The passengers are nearly supflourous.

What's the ROI on ads anyway? I feel like ads are just a way to funnel money between corps. People who are forced to see ads are really not even the point anymore. This is like corporations subsidizing other corporations. Don't even matter that you buy that item being shown to you.
