    Excellent haïku/senryu! The torrent of ads is unbridled

    If I miss a programme, I sometimes watch it on catch-up and it is the most horrendous experience. I have to mentally prepare myself to be bombarded by ads before the programme starts and that these will sometimes be the same ad over and over again. If it has a short burst of music that is catchy, a vein has been known to pulsate in my temple and be visible from outside of the house. If an ad is particularly irritating, I refuse to have anything to do with that product even if I've previously liked it, such is my irritation. Surely that's counterproductive?

    Who can control greed. I overeat and rinse and repeat. The world is built on greed, ask the rich...ask the poor afterwards...we all want to be the rich..greed lives in us all. Lovely Haiku so true.

    This is so true, sadly. Well done, sir!

  • the ads on youtube are so relentless now. I'd switch to any other video site if anything similar was available

  • Money is all that matters to some. It is the new God. Pertinent Senryū (川柳)

  • It must be controlled but can it be controlled? Hmmm 🤔🤔
