What are the Trekbbs ads trying to sell to you?

[fireproof78]

Pet Insurance.

Not having ever been a Pet Person, I did not know it was a Thing…is it a Thing?

Absolutely. And it needs to be.

Humans are more Ferengi than we would like to be...

Oh, human greed is a well known facet of humanity. Greed and covetousness can drive our behaviors more than we might realize though.

An ad for an Ad-Blocker called Web Companion...

 

[Aragorn]

The white ad which takes up the entire bottom of the browser while ads on the left and right sides move with you as you scroll, is that new?

An insurance “by the people, for the people”. Too bad it’s not called Lincoln.

That's a different company.

I think the Ferengis' would have loved our era of late 19th-century Robber Barons. It would have been cool if Quark or other Ferengis' would reference Earth's commercial history to show reverence, point out human failings, or compare Ferengi - commercial history with Human commercial history... Humans are more Ferengi than we would like to be...

According to the VOY episode 11:59, with reference to early 21st-century Earth, "Ferengi talk about Wall Street as if it were holy ground."

My grandparents are octogenarians, by that logic they must be buried for a quarter of a century

Shoes. Tons of really plain, practical shoes. I think the algorithm has clocked that I have no discernible sense of style!

nope - a full century; that scale is logarithmic

 

[Oddish]

Houses, starting in the "600's". Better than three-million-dollar cars, though.

 

[vandevere]

Cleaning products by Rubbermaid, a small Business Protection thing called Hiscox, and an ad for Adobe Workshop...

 

[Oddish]

A cat petting chart that doesn't really apply to my male cat (who absolutely adores belly scratches).

An ad for lingerie

BMW motorcycles. One of them would be reasonably affordable for me, but I'm not really interested in getting into motorcycling.
