Top 10 Things We Are Most Tired of Seeing Advertised on the Internet

Every advertisement on the Internet can be annoying. You know, you're trying to read some interesting facts about William the Conqueror, and you suddenly find yourself in some war-themed video game. What are the worst and most irrelevant (and also most common) topics of advertisements on the net?

Important: do not submit product names such as Wix or Notino to the list. You may describe products with more words (e.g. everything that helps you lose weight). The items on the list do not have to be touchable things (e.g. Black Friday discounts).
The Top Ten
1 Everything that helps you lose weight

I read either a blog post about the poster's home city's architecture, a generic forum question about how some boys/girls only care about looks, some political news, or serious scientific research. No matter what, I have to look at obese bodies, some disgusting food, and a skinny body that is sometimes obviously not the same person as the fat one.

Common phrases include "eat this and you don't need to count your calories" and "this new diet shocked doctors all around the world."

I have seen so many of these, and it is really annoying. They probably make people insecure about their bodies, which makes me feel bad because I'm the type of person who encourages people to love themselves.

2 Bodybuilding drugs

These advertisements all look the same, regardless of the advertiser. There's always a before-and-after picture with some quote from a review, along with just a first name.

Just like the weight-loss ads, they make people insecure and feel like they aren't strong enough or that they need to work out.

These just make you think that you can't get into good shape on your own.

3 Black Friday discounts

It's sad how Black Friday gets more attention as the beginning of the Christmas season than Advent. At this point of the year, the number of ads on YouTube doubles.

Edit: Sorry for not capitalizing Friday in the item title.

That's why I don't like November. Literally the entire month is dedicated to spamming Black Friday deals. Because of them, Thanksgiving is extremely overshadowed.

4 Breast-enlargement products

To me, that's the worst. Like, why do lots of girls want big fat boobs? To me, that looks so ugly - to see a nice, beautiful, thin girl with huge, fat boobs. Girls look fine with their natural size boobs, even if it's small like an A-cup size. It looks so much better than those fake fat boobs.

I don't need to explain why this is weird. Also, comically large breasts just look weird and unnatural. The same goes for anything that's considered sexy when exaggerated.

Judging by what the advertisements on the internet are about, all you need for happiness is muscles, no body fat, knowing a foreign language, and some video games.

5 Dating sites

Dating sites shouldn't exist. Go out and meet people. If you have social anxiety, you'll never learn how to talk to people if you don't try. Plus, it's a great way to get kidnapped.

Hot singles in my area want to meet me?

There are some things I trust more than that - like the government.

I am not interested in dating people on the internet or dating anyone in particular, okay?

7 Language-learning techniques

Helen, 42, Kecskemét: "I was never good at learning a language. I never even wanted to try again after finishing school. Like most people, I think it gets harder as you age to learn a language. But this new strange method made me speak fluent Norwegian in just a month!"

This product even had a website with fake Facebook comments and lots of positive fake reviews. It even talked about some professor who invented the technique and could speak 120 languages. After a simple Google search, we can easily find out he did not exist. They even attached a fake photo of that professor (there was another language teacher in the photo).

8 Money-raising techniques

This new method helped a 76-year-old retired lady raise as much money as a lottery win, without working!

9 Video games

I don't care for Raid: Shadow Legends or some other random upcoming game. My ultrathin laptop probably can't even run these anyway, since I don't have a dGPU.

I just want to browse the web or watch videos in peace without a thousand ads advertising some random new game that probably can't run on my computer anyway.

10 Feminine beauty products

I'd only somewhat understand being shown feminine beauty products if I didn't disclose my gender. But if I fully disclosed that I'm a guy and they STILL show these to me, THAT's when I actually start to get annoyed.

Like, I'M A GUY. I don't need feminine beauty products.

I'm a guy, so no, internet - I do not want any feminine beauty products.

12 Political parties

Not so much the parties but rather the candidates running. Whenever a political office goes up for election, whether it's in the state or national government, political ads are spammed everywhere.

You literally can't go five minutes without seeing one.

I don't care about politics! I'm not looking for that stuff on the internet anyway because the majority of it is so biased.

Though these are annoying, they are very important in getting people to think about the election, even if the campaign advertisements are usually filled with lies or smear tactics against the other candidate.

13 Miracle products

I don't care about your fake grandma's secret to looking youthful. Or your strange secret the doctors don't want you to know about.

They don't want you to know because it doesn't work and/or is harmful.

14 Romance manga

These are stupid. I saw one about a girl being bullied, then she went home and said she loved it and had pictures of the bully scattered everywhere!

It's okay to like romance manga (though your reputation might take a hit), but, I don't care about some random-@ss relationship, break-up, or meet-up story between two random high schoolers. Let me watch my videos in peace.

I sometimes see these on TheTopTens.

15 Penis pills and pumps

Not sure exactly what these are, but there are a lot of ads for products that supposedly enhance your sex life.

I hate it when I see a Viagra commercial while I'm watching Comedy Central.

16 Anti-smoking messaging

Had to add this one. I know how bad the effects of smoking are, so I don't want to see someone whose health has declined by way of smoking telling me why it's not good.

Most schoolkids don't do drugs anyway.

Not just those, but anti-drug and anti-drinking and driving ads as well. I already know those things are bad - it's common sense!

We get it. We shouldn't smoke because it will kill us.

17 Pornography

To be fair, you usually only get porn advertisements on porn sites, though gaming sites often like to advertise pornographic games.

With the dumbest advertisement, this game will make your wife or girlfriend hate and leave you. Like, what are you doing? Are you trying to do a PSA against pornographic games or trying to sell your terrible game?

The fact that you can easily find these ads even if you're not on porn sites is just annoying. I only understand seeing these ads if I'm on a porn site for obvious reasons. If we're not on a porn site, we're not looking for porn to (nope) to. Stick to advertising on pornhub or something, porn advertisers...

19 Palm reading

Palm reading just reminds me of astrology. It's complete nonsense. That's why seeing advertisements related to these sorts of things annoys me.

Or other things that will supposedly predict the future and the like.
