@punishmenthurts@chevalier26@actuallyautistic so I just found out yesterday that when I call my doctor’s office and sit on hold, in between abusively loud hold music they also play ADS.
I’m so offended by this, I don’t call them because of the abusively loud hold music so I didn’t know this was happening until they asked me if I was also bothered by the ads. (And they are only trying to correct this issue after two years of me complaining after they confirmed other people had a problem with it too and I told them that having a phone system neurodivergent people can’t use is a violation of section 504 of the rehabilitation act of 1973.)
YES I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE ADS THAT’S RIDICULOUS. ** if anyone is still reading this who can give me any tips, I would love to be able to tell her that the ads are bad for neurodivergent people therefore playing them while we are on the phone makes it inaccessible. Maybe I could make them go away. I think it’s just stuff telling us to get screened for breast cancer, and to get colonoscopies, but if it’s literally trying to sell things I’m going to use the people with ADHD overspent example.
To make someone sit through an ad when they are sick waiting on hold to speak with someone in their doctors office is cruelty. You guys, if she tells me that I can subscribe to an ad free experience with a monthly fee I am opting out of all of it and going full woo woo.
