I worked for one the biggest Advertising agencies in the world for almost a decade. Ad-Blockers were installed on everyone's work computers by default, the entire time.

It's sad that the internet as a whole went for adverts as a way of funding websites, because it really doesn't seem to work that well. No one likes them, everyone blocks them, and I'm yet to hear of someone finding an ad relevant to their interests despite all the creepy privacy-invading shit the ad industry does.

I imagine in marketing it's more like, "don't swallow your own shit."
edit: I suppose we should all follow that one too.

Now if you invent an Exponential-Eraser of said Bros, let us knows.

in reply to Fesshole 🧻 • • •At previous jobs (as a web developer), it took me 6 months before learning we had ads on the website maintained by my team.
One day someone asked the team to change the script related to ads. That’s how I learned about it. I was shocked.
