It’s all about ads to them, and I will do anything in my power not to see ads of products I am not interested in… which is pretty much anything being advertised to me.
Canada has advertising restrictions, notably drug commercials and until recently: sports betting. I wish they hadn’t allowed those, they’re the worst and since we’re a new market every single site is advertising up here.
Be thankful you don’t have the drug ads. They’re an infestation down here. The companies advertise the crap out of a drug that costs the patient 3-4k+/mo, it enters the doctors subconscious so they’re more likely to recommend to the patients, pharma company makes bank, the lawsuits roll in right around the time the copyright on the brand name ends (they’re all shit drugs and barely more effective than placebo, yet with knarly side effects), they close it down and let the generic manufacturers fight it out while they pump the next shit pill or shot. Rinse and repeat.
Sports betting needs to go too, but I bet they’ll just move those into shows like big tobacco did.
