“Win the war of attention” This quote from the ad sums it all up. Manipulating people for attention is tantamount to time theft. And I dunno about you, but for me that is the biggest sin you can commit. So yeah - I am at war with attention-seekers. We should all be rejecting this. It’s worse than monetary debasement, despite being a symptom of it.

This is why I hate clickbait so much. I lose all trust for people who use the tactic against me.

I’m running an active experiment right now to not use any brand of a service or consume any brand of a product for which I see an advertisement.
