I think some idiotic consumer products will always require advertising--like soda, candy bars, figh fashion, etc.?

There are some industries like auto insurance where I think it's a waste of time. Every year I call around and get the cheapest insurance. I face had good luck with Mercury(last 4 years). Esurance only quotes for 6 months--that's why they seem cheap.

As to Internet advertising; my biggest grip lately is having to watch a ad video before the intended video.(I turn down the volume and look away for 20 seconds).

I have a feeling Google tracking works too well. I am waiting for the day DuckDuckgo is King. I don't like to be tracked. I don't like my house photographed.(Google put up previously requested blurred homes, cars, persons without any notice. If you think you have a blurred out house--check again.)
