This is my place to rant. There are a lot of asshats out these thinking they gonna get rich on the interwebs or some such rot. Well you know something you are epic fail and are gonna do barrel roll at some point.
I go way back on the internet, before the days of the web which of coarse to you mouth breathers is the internet. The incessant logins, sign up for out “news” sprorge plastered in the middle of my browser and insistence my adblocker be turned off is just that a TURN OFF.
Force feeding people crap is not a way to ingratiate yourselves into peoples lives. It is a sure fired way to drive people off. The sales weasels have taken over everything and frankly just made it all plain bad. I for one have been withdrawing steadily from any interest in anything on more and more sites. I look at the link, see it is from a clickbait “news site” and just ignore it.
Knock this crap off. The sales idiot and the marketing morons are just that STUPID. You are too lazy or unsophisticated to inline your advertising. GO HOME. You do not belong on the internet and your investors are doomed to failure. Do you have stock in one of these companies? Sell it, sell it now, the little babies who think everyone on the internet is an idiot are just burning your dollars into a death spiral. STOP listening to the herd, get your act together. Just because you are dealing with millions of impressions does not mean you aren’t are simply pissing off millions of users who will eventually through the effect of cumulative abuse will just tune you out all together.
Just say no! It is effective advertising companies want. Sporging a page with a zillion ads obscuring the purpose the client is there is counter effective. I go on sites, read the ads, and even click through occasionally. I am not against advertisers. However i am not just some gullet for you to cram your crap into so you can pay your bills. As soon as you make me start to feel like one then screw you and I am not coming back either!
