Revisited 10/14/23 12:47:55 AM #5:	They know the people even mildly savvy enough to use ad block weren't gonna buy their products in the first place, their focus is on the normies with money who buy all their products. Did you know everyone in my work, not just my older boss but even my similarly aged colleagues don't use ad block? Even the ones more tech savvy than me. That should show you just how much adblockers people are just a drop in the ocean compared to the rest of the internet and app users.

Kamil 10/14/23 1:00:53 AM #10:	Some sites bombard you with ads it is literally hard to view and read the site. I've also had sites accuse me of using adblock when I wasn't (mostly news sites). To some surprise. I only happen to have an ad block on my laptop, by some accident ( though it is more necessary with those youtube mid roll ads). I view youtube on my smart TV on occasion and I just can't be bothered to get an adblock for my mobile device as it isn't enough of a problem. I also I got good at quickly closing ads on this very site while I post on Gamefaqs on mobile. --- "A lesser talent couldn't have pulled it off. But I'm willing to bet on BoJack Horseman.

Also sometimes I'd be like fine, I'll view your article on my phone and then there are two small video ads running (thankfully that are muted but block text) then there are some banner ads and other ads and it's like geez louise, you got me to not read your article that wasn't worth a damn probably anyways. Hope you enjoyed your five cents. --- "A lesser talent couldn't have pulled it off. But I'm willing to bet on BoJack Horseman.
