I would love to see the demographic data of the people actually clicking these vile advertisements. Are these the same people who watch Jerry Springer type shows and read tabloids for the juicy gossip?
I wonder if this is having some sort of effect on people at a national level? What would you measure to see if this is effecting people negatively?
I wonder if my parents would fall prey to these scummy ads if I didn't maintain their adblockers...
This toxic clickbait needs to end.
- TeMPOraL 7y agoChumboxes cast a wide net. In the brief time I was trying out browsing without adblockers some time ago, I saw some entries I'd have clicked myself, if I didn't know that I'm dealing with the worst kind of garbage advertising. Given how random and unrelated the ads in a chumbox are, any person without developed anti-ad immune system is likely to find something in there at some point. That's one of the many reasons why I consider it my civic duty to recommend uBlock Origin to everyone, and to install it on any computer I'm asked to do maintenance on.
