    Haha. Same with mine. She was mad that she was not seeing ads everywhere as she liked to interact with them and buy stuff.

      God regular people are so fucking weird haha. I just can’t wrap my mind around wanting to click on ads.

      Sometimes I wonder if working in local television news for 10 years and being subjected to ads basically constantly broke something in me.

        Honestly I don’t hate it if the ads are tailored enough. I don’t ever directly click ads, but I have seen products before that wormed into my mind and had me looking for similar/the same later. I don’t hate advertisements for legit products that actually fit my interest. I only hate ads because of how many of them are in my face and trying to convince me I need something that I don’t.

        Pop up ads in the early internet days are what made me not ever want to click on an ad. Regular people must have missed that era of Internet.

        Had a family member complaining that they couldn’t access “the internet” and found that they only clicked ads on google searches…
