I wish I could understand what goes on in the minds of marketers. Actually, wait: I don’t really want to know, I just want them to stop. Who green-lights stuff like this? Why is it now considered “OK” to just shove stuff in the user’s face, for whatever reason, out of the blue? I mean heck, I could fork a version of my UNIX shell to spam ads and prompts every other time you enter a command, wouldn’t that be fun? At what point are we just going to ruin all usability in our software on the altar of the Ad Empire?
