Rant Time!

So for this blog, I am going to rant a little bit. Hope you don't mind! 

Since when did every app on my phone become completely overrun with advertisements? I can be scrolling through my feed on Facebook or Twitter and there can be anywhere from 5-10 ads promoting things that I never "liked" or "favorited"; it has come completely intrusive. I go on those sites for the social aspect, not to be bombarded with things that I take no interest in. I even know some people who have stopped using a social media forum for the sole reason of too many advertisements. I think that this leads to a slippery slope; where does it end? Surely not with our email.

I have gotten so much spam mail inviting me to check out a site or go sign up for free things and it becomes truly overwhelming. I even still get mail from a store I ordered one item from years and years ago asking me to order more. I think that this problem will get worse over time, driving people away from being on certain social media sites and downloading certain apps. It can also stray people away from giving any of their information out in stores or online to avoid the spam mail. The annoyance that the public is displaying does not look good for marketers. But at least their ads are getting acknowledged, just not in the right way.
