    And there’s nothing I can do about it.

    Sure you can. Stop watching TV, use adblockers, and for the actual snail mail, yeah, that’s a harder one, but doable.

      This may be luck and based on your location, but I tried placing a “No fliers please” post it on my mailbox, and it seems to have stopped all fliers.

      Yeah I don’t consider moving into a cave a solution but you go on ahead.

      for the actual snail mail, yeah, that’s a harder one, but doable.

      Oh please do share

        Lol that’s called TV addiction! I was like you and now I am free.

        I’m assuming you’re talking about actual TV viewing, right? Like broadcast TV and cable TV?

        For snail mail, there are organizations that can help you with that. I can’t remember their names off the top of my head, but a quick search should help you.

          I’ve spent more time than I should have searching and come up empty.

              Some of them require paying a processing fee like $4, and it “stops it for 10 years,” which is totall bullshit, but eh.

              Did that. Nothing happened. Just a scam. If you look into that company it’s just a big advertising conglomerate.
