- drawkward 2y agoWhenever there is a HN story about obtrusuve or unexpected advertising, I make the comment I made. Recently, someone responded by mentioning that their home security system (Abode) now has a required subscription if you dont want advertising in the app one would use to interact with their security devices at home! (Eventually, Abode or whoever buys Abode will want more revenue and even the paid subscribers will get ads.)
