Remember when even the advertising had soul?

Do you even encounter advertising outside of game trailers at events like SGF/TGS/etc?

while they can take ad block from my cold dead hands, I do admit there used to be some sort of artistry to advertising
genuinely every ad I'm forced to experience these days is extremely low effort crap that at best tries to be shocking with grossout humor and the product they're advertising isn't even remotely similar to what is being shown
it's almost fitting that this is the first industry AI is getting shoved into the hardest because you aren't losing much quality with the switch at this point

I work in advertising. You will encounter 2 types of people. Braindead automatons who push the slop everyone hates. Or supergenius Chads who make $50k in an afternoon.

no, I wasn't looking at advertisements as a kid. I was playing whatever games my older brothers got.

Are ads completely dead form of media? Where would they even run print ads nowadays? It's only twitch and YouTube and TV ads anymore.

If print ads as a whole aren't, video game print ads definitely are.

Unfortunately this. I still buy Edge in print and the only ads are shitty low effort ones for no-name CEX knockoffs.
