but a funny thing happened in the 2000’s. . . advertisers noticed their ads weren’t working as well.

People started to get their news and information online. Newspapers and magazines started to close down.

And telemarketing is illegal in many areas

People started to download music and stopped listening to the radio

People could watch videos online. Now you can evenwatch any TV show online without the commercials

Consumers have gotten so good at “online searching” ,they don’t look at their junk mail anymore
