Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop

Toyotas are still good
Toyota Sales here
Boy do I have some BMW Heated seat subscription crap to sell you(Its not quite as bad as BMW. But one thing that really irks customers is the remote starter is restricted to a subscription service. unless you're one of the lucky ones who got a vehicle that installed the wrong part/fuses. in which case you can still remote start your car with the fob. its still very finnicky)

Drivers don't need to be watching the road, they need to be watching this ad.

I've known several Jeep owners over the last decade and those that weren't buying it strictly for the 'Jeep clout' as an actual vehicle/daily driver had constant issues, while under warranty, and dealt with issues even trying to get said warranty work done.
Like that wasn't enough for me, on top of that I had a mechanic with his own shop that said he'd never touch another Jeep because of how horribly they are designed to work on. Anything from ease of access to work on the engine to bolts stripping out because they were overtorqued during assembly and made with shit metals that would sooner melt than come off in one piece.
Now this? Yeah, hope they go bankrupt. This is just as bad as BMW and their 'pay a subscription for seat warmers' bullshit.You know, I've got to give their marketing team props for managing to sell a vehicle with the engineering quality of a Saturn to people with more money than sense for a whole ass order of magnitude more than it's worth. Game recognizes game.

Japanese manufacturers are not perfect but seem to be the least interested in doing this kind of anti-consumer nonsense, at least for now. I have been happy with every Mazda I've owned in the last decade (3 in total) for what it's worth.
Yup, Toyota has been solid for me. Though admittedly, they’re also one of the worst in regards to data privacy; You should assume that every single thing you do in a Toyota is being recorded and sent back to a Toyota server for ad/tracking purposes.

Cool. What does that have to do with the whole "Jeep Culture" thing?
It means you dont need to shit on a random interest. What did rock crawlers and off-roaders do to you?

Be as interested in Jeeps as you like.
Saying you're part of a culture because you bought something (especially something prohibitively expensive) is not something I will do anything but mock.
I don't hear about "Mercedes Culture" or "Nissan Culture." Probably because people way into those cars understand that it isn't a culture just to be into a car.

Fuck this shit. I don't even want to ever buy a newer car these days. Too much invasive bullshit.

Reducing peoples interests to consumerism is your culture i guess.
If i buy a mountain bike is my culture a mountain biker? How often do i have to ride to be justified in thay belief? How often do i have to post online about bikes? How many hours of youtube do i need to watch of mountain biking?
Jeeps do things normal passenger vehicles dont and people creating a community of interest on that basis is valid.

If you call mountain biking a culture, I'll mock you for that too. Because it's a hobby, not a culture.
Something isn't a culture just because you and your friends want to base your identities around it.

I've not heard of Jeep culture, myself, so now I'm going to imagine a colony of asexually-reproducing microscopic Jeeps in a Petri dish.
Today, O Squid, you have broadened my imagination beyond yesterday.

I would have much greater interest in microscopic Jeeps that could reproduce. I probably wouldn't even mock them. Unless they were jerks.

Now you're just being pedantic. If you're while argument was based on the usage of the word "culture" i think you could have made that point more clear lol.
Obviously you were talking about the validity of assembling for the interest of the Jeep brand.
For a professional lemming your performance hasnt been stellar this morning.

Well as long as it's obvious to you, because it wasn't obvious to me.

Want there also something about showing ads while your show is paused now too?
I'm ready to go back to kodi.
Depending on how long you were gone, don't get real debrid btw.

So I loved the grand caravan but they killed it to try and get folks to pay toyota prices for their shit and its like no. You vehicles have to be ten grand cheaper so that you amoratize the repair bills.

There's just no way I'm ever going to do this.
Honestly, I'd rather go forage for twigs and berries than interact with ads.
I haven't seen an ad in like 15 years or so (at home) and i already find them incredibly dystopian and weird. I don't really understand how people put up with that right now, but it kind of tells me that they would actually do the laola wave and yell pepsi at their screen.
I found my old VHS collection the other day and watched karate kid that i recorded as a child. I think it had 2 ad breaks who were really short, and back then we thought that it's getting a bit much with the ads. -

I find it weird in general when people compliment things that i had nothing to do with. Like: nice tattoo. Thanks, i sat there for a bit and then it was done.
I had a girlfriend who treated her car like she designed and build it herself. I even made a joke once where i said exactly that and je just cold heatedly said: she does that too. Like if someone would insult her car, she would take that very personally. -
Stellantis, the parent company of Jeep, Dodge, Chrysler, and Ram,
Not just a Jeep thing.
All the brands of vehicle that have some of the worst historical reliability!

Well if thats what you really meant then i applaud your ability to leverage how obtuse you are. It certainly seems to have proven you dont need to be clear about what you are saying to win an argument on lemmy.
