I've been halfheartedly saying I'm going to start a religion based on ads being bad for one's soul. It makes more sense every day.

If he tells you, he'd be advertising and that's against his religion.

That’s not advertising, that’s prosthelytizing. Advertising has to be for goods and services. And just telling someone about something isn’t advertising. It’s when you spend money or resources to bring attention to that thing that it counts as advertising. People keep saying that putting a sign on your building stating the company name is advertising. It’s not.

By advertising. So it is now officially a religion since it's full of hypocrites.

is there public awareness that isn't advertising?

Yes, this isn’t advertising. It’s proselytizing. Advertising has to be for goods and services and it has to be explicit. Me telling you about the company I work for isn’t advertising.

Lmao

I don't, i suppose

do it so we can claim anti ad blocker measures are discriminatory

Please add me to that newsletter, and may the billboards be cast from your sight, brother!

With that, you could sue Google and other companies pushing anti-adblocker tech for discrimination, just bring up all the cases when the supreme court sided with cristofascists to oppress other people.
