You’ve been around here for over 10 years and never realized that we typically do complaint Wednesday this one week of the year?

No, never thought of it.

My Medicare costs went up.  My Part C supplement cost went up by a lot. 

Just wife is still too young for Medicare and her he insurance won't pay for a needed orthopedic surgery (fine print hidden cost "gotcha").  So we went back to the ACA market and the price is staggeringly high, more than it was in 2023,  but with no tax benefits either.  

At least this insurance will accept the pre existing condition an not kick us out.

I am bringing this up again because the topic seems to be getting worse by the week.  Ads.

Not that there are too many of them. Sure, that is an issue but I'm talking about the content of advertisements.

I do not understand the reason for ads that don't tell you about the product, but try to associate their product with an 'image'.  I'd be OK with ads, but tell me about your product. Tell me features about your product (a car ad with a bunch of good looking young people smiling as they drive your car but not telling me any features of your car does nothing for me.)  

Its like the ads that try to get so 'artsy' that you have zero idea what they are for, and then they flash up the name of their product with 2 seconds left in the ad. Guess what genius?  I spent the entire first 28 seconds of the ad trying to figure out what it was for....so by the time you revealed your product to me I wasn't really paying attention to the first 28 seconds becuase my mind was on 'what the heck is this for'?  Maybe you were showing me your product, maybe you were giving me some features. Maybe you were TRYING to create that image. But if I don't know what it is, you just wasted most of your ad time because I'm likely to forget your entire ad without knowing what it is for.

I worked a bit in marketing years ago. I'm not an expert....but I think companies over-complicate things most of the time.
