Ever since advertising became extremely intrusive, it’s been game over for them. I’d rather put effort into hiding the ads (Adblocker), switching browser if necessary (Chrome v3 bs) and switching platforms (Lemmy) then seeing them again.
Ads have become bad enough I have decided to be actively malicious towards them with AdNauseam, which clicks them all in the background for me. Advertisers pay as if someone clicked on the advert. Every. Single. Advert.
The only one that loses out is the advertiser. If anything the website profits from it.
I still don’t understand why google went from “intrusive ads are bad” to basically allowing Google Play to be completely taken over by games and apps that require you to watch 30-60 second long ads to do anything. Man how I miss discovering cool apps and games. I was completely fine with watching 5 second ads for rewards, but at this point I doubt anyone even pays attention to the screen anymore, which does the opposite effect of marketing.
