We can all agree that polling is completely meaningless now yeah? It obviously has zero correlation with reality.

The pearl clutching from the bourgeois is becoming a bit annoying.

The cost of digital advertising cannot be justified by its effectiveness (or rather lack there of). We've collectively spent hundreds of billions of dollars creating the infrastructure for invasive hyper targeted ads that do not get better results than simple billboards and terrestrial TV ads even now.
