also if ads didn't become continually retarded. first it was flash and all the poo poo that came with flash, currently it's videos on auto play. what's next? something that captures your noise so the only thing you can click is a picture of trump drinking piss?

what I'm asking is what's the next big thing in ads?

it's cool how people are blind to internet ads these days. like they have done gaze-tracking studies and people have developed the ability to automatically ignore ads without even looking at them. all those millions of years of evolved signal-to-noise filters working perfectly, but instead of ignoring grass and finding tigers, they're ignoring irrelevant advertising. it's amazing.

the only place that advertising "works" at all -- i.e. gains your attention -- is when you are literally forced to watch it before you get to the thing you want. you know what that's called? indoctrination. brainwashing. nazism.

It isn't that I dislike ads, it is that they usually make websites look like poo poo, or that they play music/video, or that they come with malware.
