LOS ANGELES — As an information technology engineer and digital native, Tim Hamner Jr. spends a lot of time online, consuming videos, podcasts and news.
But when the 28-year-old clicked on a cooking video the other day, he first got a pitch from an increasingly ubiquitous interloper — Los Angeles mayoral candidate Rick Caruso.
"All I wanna do is see how to make homemade funnel cakes," Hamner protested on Twitter, "and I gotta see a Rick Caruso ad every 5 minutes! I'm tired!!!!"
