lets pose a hypethetical, lets say the best most stable, fastest operatiing system was made, but the only way you could get it was ad supported, would you still cling to your broken beta os, or move on like the rest of the people and use your saved money to buy something you actualy want?

absolutely would use the broken beta OS. no matter how bad it was, it would still be better than having random ads for lysol and golf clubs and other useless poo poo popping up to distract me

oh, well, if you can keep the level of advertising down to the level i'm capable of setting it to in w10 (which is to say: 100% opt-out-able), that's okay. advertise away as long as it can be disabled by the end user.

that's something i don't get. people who hate ads enough to block them aren't going to jump in their car and go buy whatever crap you're peddling, so why insist on shoving ads in their face? seems to me they're helping you narrow down your target audience

ads still subconsciously work on people who dont like to see them

someday you will be in a grocery store or whatever and you'll have a choice between two brands, and the one you have heard of before will get your money

it's just a fantasy. if it was real and gritty they would pour their own drinks because the bartender would be gone and everybody would be making out but that would be too hot for TV

surprisingly drinking helps to suppress VR sickness the same way you're able to suppress throwing up when drinking a zima, you light weight
