kind of awkward that this both:

it's absolutely coconuts that you're currently attempting to die on the hill of a giant "buy now" button not being an advert

also, you do realise that the launcher is an advert? that's its whole reason to exist. your take is essentially "you're dumb because after you've clicked through the adverts, there aren't any adverts"
