What bothers me the most is the casual destruction of perfectly functional, expensive (for some) items. It’s glorifying waste, and I’m sure there are individuals or families that would kill for the chance to get a piano, a trumpet, or the insanely overpriced Macs they can’t afford, while Apple is crushing them just to sell us more ewaste (seeing how apple in particular is at the forefront of anti repair)…
Now think of how much of these items the budget of any given commercial could pay for.
Focusing on just the literal few in view in front of you is missing the forest for the trees.
Not necessarily, it sells a message and an image on top of just wasting the large amount of money that any ad costs.
