I used to put stickers on my desktop PC and laptop when I was in my early 20s. Then I realised my laptop was kinda free advertising for whatever companies product I had stuck on the back.

Now it seems have come very "corporate cringe", similar to the 16 pieces of flair at Chotchkie's. It also looks a bit childish IMO.

I just want a funny sticker to cover the logo of my laptop's producer.

Are they really that funny though? While I appreciate that it is subjective, they are often only vaguely funny.

More often or not a lot of the supposed humour is a thin veneer over some sort of political or quasi-political messaging. You can even see in the screenshots that most of it is either political, product placement or their tech stack.

Political messaging is good and important especially nowadays

Political messaging I am completely fed up with and I am sure I am not the only person fed up with it. I go out of my way now to make sure that I see almost none of it.

When I see overt political messaging outside of someone that works for a particular organisation or political party, I steer clear.

I've found that most people (doesn't matter what political persuasion) have a very poor understanding of what they are actually supporting if they understand it at all. Often they simply parroting what they've elsewhere.

Oddly enough I have a pretty good guess of your political affiliations from these comments.
