We used to complain that the little 'X' you had to click to exit the ad was too small.

Now you get:

  • 30 second ad
  • Click 'X', which takes you to the app store
  • Click 'Done' to leave the app store, which takes you back to the ad
  • Wait another 10 seconds as it shows you more ad
  • Click 'X' again, which takes you to the final screen
  • Click 'X' one more time

Also, ads that have a little progress bar at the bottom that goes really fast at first (so you think the ad is short), but then slows way down at the end

It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha."

The lengths that people will go through to play crappy phone games is baffling, as always.

*chuckles in using a browser that doesnt have ads*
Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.

TC you forgot the bullet point for when you choose to skip the ad but the ad plays anyways.
