- monooso 2y agoThat's a pretty loose definition of an advertisement, particularly in the context of this conversation.
- oneeyedpigeon 2y agoNot all ads are equal. I am willing to bet that every single app they were referring to had much more egregious advertising than HN does.
- everdrive 2y agoMy sentence, in a very loose sense is an advertisement for my ideas. I think the concept can be stretched too far.
- PittleyDunkin 2y agoIf I sense that these so-called ads are lowering my quality of life—absolutely.

- GrinningFool 2y agoYour comment comes across as disingenuous. I think by this point in time, most people who are taking an active effort to remove advertising from their lives are well aware that the concern with "ads" isn't primarily about the requirement to see ads - it's the privacy-consuming infrastructure behind them.
- Y_Y 2y agoNot to mention the attention-stealing flashing lights and popping up over the thing you want to see and all the other ways to make you think about something against your will.
