My wife and mother love ads, they are always on the hunt for the latest good deals and love discount shopping. When I tried to remove the ads on their computers or in the postal mail, they protested. I think they are far more representative of the general population.
- FergusArgyll 1y agoYeah, I've encountered more than one person who didn't want me to install ublock origin for them because "Then I won't see any ads". People have different preferences ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
- jjaksic 1y agoDude, that is so weird!
- rkomorn 1y agoPeople opting for "free with ads" makes sense. It's the "pay but still get ads" thing that gets me, but I guess some people just want to pay the bare minimum.
