[sdiy] [OT] Behavior of advertisers

[Tim Ressel]

Hey all,

After closing the umteenth advert, of the type that
somehow sneaks past the popup blocker, I have to
wonder why these people think anyone would buy their
products. Surely anyone who gets annoyed as I do about
these intrusions will not patronise the offending
businesses ... are some people actually happy to see
billboards on their computer and therefore buy the
stuff?? Or have advertisers convinced themselves that
this crap works?? Some mass self-deception caused by a
combination of new car smell and too much cocaine...

Being the rebellious type, I have a highly negative
reaction to these intrusions. Sort of like an immune
system. I try real hard to close the ad without
actually reading its content. It takes effort, sure,
but these folks are worth it.
