Do the humane thing and just abort them in the womb with an adblocker.
If you are using some app where that isn’t possible, stop using it.
If YouTube shows me an ad or two once in a while, I’ll suffer through it.
But flood me every 3.5 minutes of a 40m video with 2 ads, unskipable? You’re damn right I’m using Firefox and an ad blocker, you stupid f…
“pro life” people reading this: ╥﹏╥
Also you can use adguard DNS on your phone to block many in-app ads.
I think this would imply that ads are living beings. Since they had no part in their own creation, you would just be hurting them for something they have no control over, which is what they were created for.
Now if we could hurt the marketing team and executives who created the ads, that would be a different story
This could be a Black Mirror episode. A sentient ad that felt pain when skipped fighting to avoid pain. It would have no option than to try to get around ad-blockers and be sneaky and feel bad about annoying users, but the alternative is pain.
You’re not gonna believe this…
We should all just collectively aggree to boycott the products of whatever ads we see. Make it known to advertisers that this is our stance. “Next product that I see in an ad that interrupts my video today gets a 3 month boycott”, etc.
Millennials do that for any ad on the internet because it was a scary place where you would lose your computer from a bad link or numb.exe
Personally I think if they can afford an ad then they are overcharging me
I do that. But i hardly see any ads to begin and most i see are things i wouldn’t buy anyway.
But it’s clear that that would never work. In a microcosm you can see it with video games. “Guys, if you stop pre-ordering video games…” I’LL PREORDER THEM EXTRA HARD NOW BECAUSE YOU TOLD ME TO. I NEED TO PRE LOAD THE GAME SO I CAN PLAY THE MILLISECOND IT’S OUT. IT’S MY MONEY I DON’T CARE.
Especially ads with a tiny x button or skippable after 30 seconds.
You mean the x that marks the spot with the treasure that is their even-more-ad-saturated website? The real close button is under a UI element you have to drag away to uncover. Get it quick though, the cover starts moving back as soon as you release it.
The doesnt deserve pain for being what it is. I do however wish that the head of marketing got a tuft of dick hair pulled out when I skip.
They kind of do. Whoever is buying ads better be getting clicks or theyre in trouble.
Yup, hurts them right in the shareholder.
Every person named “Ads” will now experience horrible pain whenever anyone, anywhere closes an ad. The monkey’s paw closes.
I read this as “abs” at first and thought this was about a masochistic workout freak.
The ads themselves did nothing wrong, making this just cruel.
Wish for the marketing people to experience pain whenever an ad is played. That’s justified. 😌
better yet if you block them
