As soon as I saw it was an Uber ad I turned it off, I don’t care if it was funny or whatever other tactic they used to increase viewer engagement, it’s advertisement and I’m not going to waste my free time watching an ad.

But did you find it funny? You keep avoiding the question like you feel guilty about it.

Out of interest,. was it your fierce dislike of Uber, or because it's an ad, and could have been from any company?

Because its an ad. If i didnt have to get bombarded with ads everywhere I go I maybe id be more forgiving of the concept, as it stands they invade my personal life constantly. So i refuse to voluntarily subject myself or others to them.
