if ads weren't a massive vector for 0day 'sploitz and also if i was profoundly retarded, i might consider not blocking ads

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

lots of people desperately trying to make an obsolete model work, like geography-based content distribution rights in the digital age.

which is why you read them. most upvoted user reviews aren't garbage political poo poo flinging. it doesn't take very long to gather what's wrong with a game

i wouldn't mind paying for good content, except i know they'd still shove ads down my throat. also the content would still suck because why make an attempt at actual journalism when you can just copy/paste a press release and call it an article

people who think ads don't work on them, they do. Ads are info on brands or stuff you buy, whatever product you have on your head right now is product of tom (top of mind) and that was ad generated, either atl/btl / digital etc

the products i have in mind right now were personally tested or recommended by people i trust in such matters. your cancerous money furnace of an industry had nothing to do with it

at the very best, an ad leaves me indifferent toward whatever crap it's peddling. most of the time though it makes me actively hostile toward it, depending how dumb the ad was

what's even the argument here? i see an ad and think about how lovely it was for a few seconds, it's a win? all publicity is good publicity? this is getting bitcoin levels of pathetic

i worked in telemarketing as a starving college student too so, yes, i know it works on some people, just like nigerian scams do. it doesn't work on a mass scale. stop huffing your own farts
