Author Lu Chekowsky was once haunted by
couches.
You know how it goes: You’re considering buying a new sofa, so you poke around online to see what’s out there.
Then, like a JD Vance fever dream, couches are everywhere when you go online. Each ad shows you a new style, a new color, a new furniture store.
Annoying, right? Lu says this is all part of advertisers’ plan.
We spoke to Lu about how she ignored the little voice in her head during her advertising career, why she decided to leave it all behind, and what the rest of us can do to scratch back against the onslaught of ads we see everywhere, everyday.
You’ll probably find a little bit of yourself, too.
