Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

The obvious difference is, someone, somewhere out there will see you wearing/using that luxury brand and think "ooo, fancy", and thus will think you are more "refined" for it. Whether you agree with that or not, that's the reality.
nobody is going to think you're more refined for watching a YouTube ad.
Someone will think you're more refined if you don't watch a YouTube ad though, whether it's through ad blocker or premium, that's the comparison you should be making.
True, but I do get irrationally mad if someone else wants to show me something and there are several ads before it.
Or less refined...
When I see people plastered with logos I just think they’re dumb and incapable of independent thought.
