      You’ll never escape the ads - never! We’ll get you in your sleep! We’ll paint billboards on the insides of your eyelids!

            I didn’t say it shouldn’t be a thing. Nor would I.

            I don’t even know how you got from “this is advertising on Lemmy and I don’t like seeing advertising on Lemmy” to “this shouldn’t be a thing at all.”

              Where is the advertising? I read the article more about a tour rather than an ad op for Vans

                You realize that the tour is a money-making venture and that you would not have known about that money-making venture if not for this article, yes?

                That’s advertising.

                  Can’t remember the last concert I went to that wasn’t a money making venture and wasn’t advertised for me to hear about it somehow.

                  Sure, Vans undoubtedly benefits from exposure. But so do music fans who want to see they favorite bands, and the bands that tour to make money.

                    And that’s fine.

                    But it isn’t news.

                    Do you really want c/news to have endless tour announcements?
