Welcome to #CheckIn for Saturday, March 4

Hi, how are ya?

Let's talk about ads! Since I'm here and on Mastodon, I don't see a lot of ads on social media and I mostly stream, even my network TV. On my phone, I use Samsung Internet which includes ad blockers. I do see them on YouTube (some channels are disguised ads) and Reddit but have no problem ignoring them. My ads are for local services, groceries and not particularly focused.

How much advertising do you feel you're exposed to? Does it entice you to buy?

Grab your beverage preference (pixel or not) and enjoy the space. I try to keep things light but this is your thread so … there’s always an element of randomness. Sometimes it changes course and sometimes ideas are more nuanced.
