Uh I didn’t…
Ads work. It’s a fact. Just because it’s a sad fact doesn’t mean I want you to be sad.
The data is very clear… Ads work. They absolutely shouldn’t almost ever, but they do. With the cornucopia of analytics available, companies have long been able to see if their ads work, and if they didn’t, they would’ve stopped long ago. Hell even before the Internet they had ways to prove ads work.
edit: gotta say it’s pretty sad that so many simpletons downvoted this. Ya know, ads working is something that I hate. I hate ads. I want them all to go away. I’m simply stating a well known fact: they absolutely work, even on people like you and I who do our best to block and ignore them.
You’re pretty fragile if that fact upsets you enough to shoot the messenger.
The person you’re explaining websites to is a web developer and they are correct. There being a ton of websites needlessly dependent on JavaScript is well known and long lived.
They don’t work? How naive.

A lot of people took this at face value. Even myself at times.

Seriously though – how the fuck did Apple get away with trying to be a monopoly 24/7 for 17 years? The iPhone launch and everything since could not have been clearer.
Only took them 17 years.
I have one of those Google streaming devices but I hate giving up my privacy. Also, I saw fast food ads on the device’s home screen one day and I couldn’t disable those. That was the last straw.
So now I use a raspberry pi 5 running arch with Firefox to stream everything to my TV. I even got a remote working with it that works fairly well, moves the mouse and everything. It was a lot of work but now I own my experience and don’t have to give Google my data in that particular way anymore.
Does Twitter not already use captcha? Captcha is easily beaten by sophisticated bots from what I’ve read
Other people spending money on shoes is not your business. If you want to be in favor of a scammer, that’s on you. It’s pretty shitty regardless.
Yep that’s exactly why they had started the 2 then changed their mind lol. Alllll part of the plan
Oh look another story for Republicans to pretend never happened
