Lately all I see are french-speaking 30 second ads for shit I have no interest in that I can't opt out of. Sorry french advertisers, I'm using Adblocker.
Next is just general surfing for porn. I enter my search keywords and begin clicking and find an interesting site and maybe kinda consider possibly maybe paying for more services but FUCK NO, I'm bombarded with pop-ups and pop-unders and pop-sideways and robotic chat boxes and shit and piss and crap.
We all rely on ads to make money but treating customers like idiots is the best way to go out of business. |
Moaning about ads on a free service like youtube - are you fucking kidding me?
Holy fuck I can't believe the absurdity of someone in the business of selling things bitching about how they can't opt out of an ad after a few seconds in order to watch something for free.
General porn surfing - you are 'bombarded' with pop ups plus pop unders plus chat boxes? Got an example site? I'm guessing you are more likely hit with 1 popunder, and a chat box, at most. 2 clicks and done, where you carry on looking at your free stuff.
And you aren't a customer until you've paid for a service, at which point you can crack on intrusive-ad free
