    They actually plan on ads being tuned out, it’s more about choking out the presence of competitors than it is actually convincing the audience that their product is worth while; y’know, like a weed.

    Either way, I don’t fall for it because I just make sure to type in “Reddit,” right after my search for a product I want so that I get honest human reviews and not ads. 😏

        Do you people actually need “/s” to not be annoying? I added the fucking smug face and everything.

          I’m with you, I refuse to use it. If my comment gets downvoted because of that, then so be it.

          Why try to be funny only to immediately compromise it?

            I think it also depends on context. If you’re being “sarcastic” about something that could be harmful to someone if genuine, then it’s better to make that clear and avoid potentially doing that harm. In this case, I’m making fun of Reddit and ads, no harm done.

          Ah yes, starting out with you people, the nicest way to do things. In case you didn’t realize plain text loses intonation and body language. Makes it hard to understand certain implications.

            It doesn’t if you aren’t just dying to catch someone being stupid. I don’t care about being nice, this is the first time in my entire life that someone has admitted to expecting me to be nice online. /s
