Ah, true that. It’s not an ad then and that’s even worse… Are corporations that engrained into people’s minds that when they think of drinking a coffee in a café, it’s necessarily that brand? Their marketing dept did their job well.
I was thinking about that. I guess the objective of brands is to be so normalized that people don’t even think about it. Of course they’re driking coffee at that place. Of course you’ll go there to chit-chat with your friend. Going somewhere else doesn’t even cross one’s mind.
I’ve decided to interpret it as sub text where the autor is showing us how these corporations are akin to eldritch beings in their disregard for human rules.
I love Litterbox! But I hate ads. Sad that corporate consumption needs to infiltrate nice things for authors to survive.
