I can't think of even 1 time I've seen a useful advert though
- berkes 6y agoI can. And almost without exception, those were relevant ads, not targeted. Relevant like getting a coupon code for digital ocean storage credits below an article on how to run your own IPFS host. Or relevant like getting an offer for pizzafriday on the 'where to eat' information section of a campsite in some unfamiliar city.
- GoblinSlayer 6y agoFor me usefulness and relevance aren't a problem, I block ads because they are ugly.
