How Can Ads Not Suck?
mquander: It's impossible to make ads not suck.  Fifty years ago, perhaps ads didn't always suck, before we had Metacritic and Amazon reviews and a million professional critics and reviewers writing online and social media telling you your friends' opinions about everything.  All of those things are way more useful than an ad, no matter how well you target it.  And soon, with augmented-reality stuff, they will be easier and easier to see whenever you are thinking about buying something.With all that, what the hell is the point of ads?  They're just wasting the time of the people producing and consuming them.  They do nobody any good at all.
