Interestingly enough, I just noticed this happening on websites that have been doing it for years. Yes, some of these ads are in your face and you can't help but notice them, but a lot of these ads are in the background. I call the ads because to my mind (and to the mind of most people; see usability studies) this garbage is just automatically tuned out except when it can't be. Whether an actual ad was there or something that looks like an ad is absolutely irrelevant. I'm not going to see it anyway. Which just makes the idiotic messages that try to guilt and shame me more idiotic. For years (this is hardly a new trend) I've been ignoring them. Even after I read them, I ignored them and laughed at them. Seriously, people let a fucking website tell them how to feel to the point that it actually affects their feelings? Now that is a serious security vulnerability that probably can't be patched.
