If ads are beneficial why would they charge you extra to turn them "off"? Under your reasoning, we should be paying extra to see ads, because we'd get helpful suggestions.
Your argument makes little sense.
- DeadMonkey321 14y agoHis point there was that not all ads are evil. As someone who has purchased things based off of Facebook ads that I've seen, I share his "lack of hatred" for ads, provided they're not annoying or malicious. If they keep services I like free or cheaper as a result of their existence, then I'm not going to complain about them too much.
- dumbdumbda 14y agoYour last sentence is intriguing. Do you believe that ads are the only means to keep services "free" or "cheaper"? If you do, then that would explain why you have come to accept them as "necessary" for services to be "free" or "cheap". (i.e., you've made a causal link between ads and "free/cheap") If you don't, then I have more questions for you to answer.
