Windows is hell, i need to do something

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yet here you are, complaining about the ads in Windows. Are you sure that you can go without them? :-D
Ahah correct! But in all seriousness, i believe ads are drastically changing right now (ai is just fuel on the flame). Good advertising is great, fun and builds community, which is the end goal in my humble opinion.
If you force me to use/install a product without telling me why, just because “trust me bro I’m Microsoft”, you are just pathetically insecure about your product and deserve 0 users.
Unfortunately, I think you're a rare breed. I've met people in graphic design and marketing who will actually defend advertising practices in the face of the incontrovertible fact that: I don't like it.
We're past the point of "you just don't know what you want" and well into "we're going to hold you down and shove it down your gd throat" territory.
I think there is a correct and perfectly fine way to advertise but it certainly less effective.
The poison brewer would never try his own product 🙃
I'm sure you've seen it many times, but I love Bill Hick's take on marketing.
