Ads are loving everywhere. Holy poo poo. Stop trying to sell me poo poo all the time. I was researching something today for work about an old payroll system, and there were three midroll ads in a 20-frame slideshow on the payroll system developer's own website. Not even for their own software or services. Just random other poo poo. gently caress all the way off with that.

Got a bottle of febreeze to freshen up furniture before friends came to stay (we have pets and even though everything is tidy I worry about it). I sat my cloth grocery bags down on the couch and came back a minute later to find the entire loving bottle leaking into the cushion. I looked at the thing and you barely have to nudge it for the enire spray element to come off, what the everloving gently caress there are NO THREADS holding it in place. It ruined half a pack of toilet paper and an entire box of coffee filters Now the entire place smells like nauseating perfume and I have never seen such a janky product in all my days wtf how do you gently caress up a spray nozzle, I want to open windows but it's too hot to turn off the AC so I hope no one gets devastating headaches

I hate this so much. I keep Spotify open on my vertical monitor and that garbage panel takes up almost half the space and none of the information on it is useful. Spotify is a pretty great example of a thing that worked perfectly fine and then steadily got worse every time new features were added by some useless exec trying to justify their job.

It's basically a social media/data scraping app at this point. If you can find an old Spotify Lite apk kicking around you can relive the glory days of just listening to some goddamn music without draining 80% of your phone battery and giving yourself a migraine from the world's busiest visual interface (for an audio client).

This has been going on a while, but what's up with wikia? First off all it's the first hit of you search any niche gamer culture poo poo, like mechanics for games, game items, or literally anything if the algorithm thinks you play Minecraft. So that, but also the pages are literally 90% ads, about 6 different kinds of ads. Can't read anything until you click at least 3 times and the page jumps around like a dog chasing a squirrel and they're both on crack. You know I'm desperate to learn some nerdy poo poo if I wade through a wikia article...

Wikia is a victim of a vicious pincer attack of the owners being incredibly, egregiously greedy on the one flank, and the kids who should be their primary demographic not knowing how to use a web browser so they never leave discord on the other flank.

One time someone in production screwed up and the entire game had no announcers, commercials, or graphics and was just baseball + the sound of the stadium and it was the best game I have ever watched in my life.

A sad sacrifice. But worth it. The announcers don’t even talk about the game anymore . When they do, they just talk about how much they dislike it

Yeah same, haven't had cable in over 5 years but I still watch the NBA and the NFL so those are the only times I watch TV commercials, and my loving god they are so bad. The worst is when you see an ad in week 1 that's kinda cute and funny, but by week 10 when you're seeing it for the 5000th time it's like hearing nails on a chalkboard. Also re: putting an ad blocker on your router, I can't do this because I have fiber and my provider puts a hard coded certificate on their routers to encrypt/decrypt the data. So that means I have to rent the router from them instead of using my own, and of course I can't access any of the settings to install anything or even change the DNS. Putting 3rd party firmware on it would cut off my internet traffic.
