    Probably around 90% of them, as well as being extremely beneficial for your mental health. After the junk offers are removed it brings it up to around 95% of Advent posts being skipped.

    It is now a rabid fascist platform and companies are moving away from it.

    If I was a company I would be reluctant to have my brand linked to "X" 
    Rational judgement, now, at this very moment.

    Virtuous action, now, at this very moment.

    Willing acceptance - now, at this very moment - of what you can’t change
  • You simply don't have to. I gave up on advents years ago when I witnessed people on here making themselves ill trying to keep up. There aren't that many decent prizes on advents anyway. The decent advents tend to be listed elswhere anyway.
