No, not everybody hates ads. Everybody hates today's ads, because they're literally as intrusive and annoying as the designers can make them. I didn't have a problem with ads 15 years ago, but because I have to pay for my bandwidth, and because ads like to literally block what I'm reading with a giant, 100MB, unskippable video, I use an ad blocker.

Advertising shot itself in the foot, and it isn't our fault for being pushed so far that we're fed up with it.

Unskipable ads when I'm browsing my files on my phone, how fucking obnoxious can you possibly make them?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (3 children)

Where did u experience this lol, Ive never heard of that

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

There're some wack lowly made phones sold in countries without good standards that do this.

A friend's phone shows ad in every app, from google stock apps to whatapp and even fucking phone/call app. Around 30 pixels of ad blocked at the bottom of the screen whenever mobile data is on.

It's a xiaomi, phone is great but the software bloat is horrible

[–] Noodle07 1 points 11 months ago

Xiaomi, that was the worst update ever

[–] Hardeehar 4 points 11 months ago

What phone or service is this? Not in the states right?

Yeah that's what I ended up doing, but that never should have happen in the first place

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I agree, needing to watch ads to view your own, local, personal files is insane

[–] Noodle07 2 points 10 months ago

It's like you don't own anything anymore, using what you bought is a privilege

I agree with most of that, but I feel like we weren’t using the same Internet 15 years ago. There were still ample popups and popunders, many of which you couldn’t easily close (more than a few did the funny ‘you are an idiot’ trick of just open windows faster than you can close them to me). They were loud, both visually but also they would actually play sound in non-video pages (sometimes multiple at once). Most of them were either disgust or porn based (or the really funny meme of both at the same time). And there were so. Many. Viruses. I feel like advertisers have never been particularly respectful of the end user, and the main difference is that now they’re actively spying, where they maybe weren’t 20 years ago.

Idk, 15 years ago I was watching cable and 1/3 of my time was spent subjected to ads on a paid service. I think I prefer them now lol

We're talking internet here, bub. Cable ads are definitely BS, though.
