    "You don't want me to not use an ad block? Sure thing chief. I just won't use your site. Suck it asshole." lol

    And their tone is so condescending. Corporate commands like "Turn off your ad blocker" just really chap my hide. Like their "journalism" is all that and a bag of chips. It's garbage. I was merely curious to read a little more about how wrong they actually were in thinking they were right. Noped on outta there.

    @alexThunder ML goes rather like "hey this dude bought a washing machine last week, so it makes totally sense to display washing machine ads to him". Not detergent or so.

    Had one of those the other day. I had bought the bottom part of a papasan chair as a replacement for a broken one. I just got home from Pier 1 with the product when I immediately got an ad for the seat part of the papasan chair, which I already had. Luckily, that ad had a button to say "I already bought this". It's getting absolutely ridiculous.

    And yet, part of my business model as a web agency is to help my clients navigate these types of ad campaigns to inflict the very same pain on others. I feel like I'm some kind of unwitting war criminal.
