i turned off adblock on some poorly coded website a while back and suddenly it reloaded and replaced the white background with a gigantic animated colorful ad for fabric softener.

as a millennial, i would never buy fabric softener, even if i did want it, which i don't.

the ad noticeably slowed down scrolling on the page, which irritated me, and created a powerful enough association that now when i think of fabric softener i remember that ad (don't remember the brand! just the existence of the ad) and become angry, which reinforces my desire to not buy the loving stuff.

working as intended?

years ago when that guy was fired from gamespot for giving a sponsored game a bad review i went to look at the site to see what the big deal was and wondered what was wrong because i didn't see anything relating to the game. then i turned off adblock and suddenly every bit of the site from the background to the banners to the auto-play popover videos were ads for that lovely game. the web without adblockers is a truly horrible place.
