- zem 1y agoback in the heyday of the daily wtf there was a beautiful submission from a developer who worked for a banner ad company. got called into a VP's office one day and yelled at because some new annoying ad wasn't showing up where intended, a bunch of debugging later it turned out that the VP was running an ad blocker and had just forgotten about it.
