Isglitch headlines are constantly catching me out until I notice the community.

We're living in such a techno-dystopia they're all quite believable, sadly.

Yo dawg, we heard you like “Yo dawg, we heard you like “Yo dawg, we heard you like ads” ads” ads, so we put ads inside your ads inside your ads.

I can't tell if you wanted me to buy Quaker Pudding or Cheddar Oats?

Starbucks did this, at one point you could buy a half body latte in the bathroom of Starbucks while you waited for your full body latte that you just ordered. You still can, but at one point you could as well.

We joke, but isn't this exactly what twitter does? Someone pays to promote a post, then sells a pre roll on it.

I had this happen with a mobile game ad. It was an ad for Tiktok but was promoting the Pokemon games channel on Tiktok so I was very confused what the intention was
