ethically might have been too strong a word on my part, i don't want to imply broad judgement. and yes, i've definitely seen some people do personalized ad reads where they're still being very diligent in distinguishing them as ads
at the end of the day the types of internet monetization to i'd (personally) feel ethically comfortable with and the types that generate livable revenue are almost non-overlapping circles
this doesn't top the list of reasons i'd never succeed as an influencer/creator but it does rank
this is also why i find brand deals especially off-putting, they are a way of infusing parasociality (derogatory) into advertising
the only exception is taki’s, they’re delicious but i can’t handle an entire family size bag of citric acid. i’m not That Guy
basically have banished all chips from my apartment for a long time because yeah, they’re all single-serving size to me
"government can't deliver so you might as well not pay into it" is nothing more than a suicide note for left and liberal governance
misson failed, or at least only semi-successful; we'll see if i can do better over the next weeks/months

gonna become an ultra runner if i go running every time i see a post that spikes my cortisol
i’d just like to thank real life and the timeline for creating so many extremely loud extremely legitimate causes for anxiety, it’s going to really help me stick to my “return to running” plan
