    Are there better ways to denounce the constant stream of marketing saying “absolutely buy this right now”?

      Just ignore the hype, doubt all claims, but if you really do want something read reviews and wait for the price to go down. Then you’ll be the person who’s like “Wow this is such an amazing show, why is no one talking about it?” And they’re like “Because it came out 10 years ago.”

      Yeah just be autistic.

      I’m not though - just use uBlock Origin, Sponsorblock, etc.

      As for IRL, that’s an unsolved problem, it’s kinda best to just tune them out mentally though.

          I just don’t shop around, I come for X and buy X and even if Y seems good I’d never buy it on the spot.
