I have a question to ask


When I ask this,I not referring to ones on this site. Lately it seems like I'm seeing more commercials on the internet injected into different websites. There just seems like more than usual. Anyone else?

reply


I find the ads on Youtube pretty annoying, you can skip most of them after 5 seconds but there many 15 or 30 second ones that you can't skip, I hate those.

reply

The companies wanting to advertise are paying less and the websites need more to maintain the same amount of revenue. That is the only thing I can think of that would cause that.

I'll let you in on a little secret: They're in it for the money.

The worst is they spy on you. They know when you are sleeping, they know when you're awake, and they run ads geared JUST TO YOU. It's scary.

reply

and they know if you've been bad or good

reply

I do not know if they know that.

Well, has anyone tried being in legal trouble and seeing if any ads for law firms pop up?

Only one can tell, if they have truly been bad.

Phantom was making a joke about Santa Claus: "he knows when you are sleeping, he knows when you're awake. He knows when you've been good or bad, so be good for goodness sake."

If one is in legal trouble, and has been Googling to find out about it, Google will then customize ads accordingly.

reply

Yeah, the old Santa Claus song.

reply

You learn something new everyday. I didn't know that about ads and it makes sense

reply

Oh definitely. I have had it to where I will look something up and then anything related will come back all over. They will come up on facebook and pretty much every website I visit. It is annoying!

reply

Thanks catbookss, at least someone is paying attention, just don't shout or pout, lol

Yep. If you need to quote a book you have, but it's not easy to reach, and you know you can look at it at Google Books or Amazon.com so go there to find the quote. Then they try to sell you that book, and all related books. The good thing is that they DON'T know you already HAVE it! Now, that WOULD be scary!

reply

The new garbage I've been seeing lately is when you're watching a video and it stops mid-way through in order to show you an ad!! Can't freaking win man!!

reply


Ouch! Disgusting! When and where did that happen?

Happened to me about 3 times recently when I was watching videos on Facebook. They might have been YouTube videos but I can't be certain right now. I'll keep a mental note of what videos it's happening on in the future.

Oh, on Facebook. I don't so Facebook. Old Skol guy here.
