  • Interesting concept. Over the last few decades we have seen cigarettes/vapes alcohol, small plastics etc come under scrutiny as they harm people’s health. But there are physical objects that harm physical health.

    Advertising is much more subjective I tend of what constitutes harm, and mental health is again still on the back foot compared to body health.

    In some places we have seen bans on cigarette adverting and even bans on cigarettes. So at a small scale it can be implemented.

    I loved ads as a kid. It shaped my career, but it’s an out of control monster that needs looking at. I am growing to hate it.







  • Agree. It’s easy to feel disheartened by the lack of action. It’s easy to say get out and do ABC, however since smartphones and apps it’s been so easy to just hop on and scroll/consume. Plus the monetisation of content creation has captured a whole generation looking to build a career (fuelled by more apps to help them). Sharing and creating is big money now. It’s not just about saying hey look I did this just incase anyone else wanted to try it, and share there thoughts on the matter. I have concerns that even if forums popped up in a new shape they would just get scalped by those looking to repackage and sell the info.
