You might as well get off the Internet if that's your problem. Because it won't be getting any better for you.

- untog 12y agoWhy not? My e-mail provider does a very good job of filtering spam. I'd just flag responses like this as spam on Twitter, too.
- jdimov 12y agoSo you asked a question, someone went through the trouble of finding your question and answered it, with a pointer to a possible solution, and you will mark that as spam? Whose problem is that, grumpy?
- untog 12y ago"Someone" didn't send a pointer to a "possible solution", a business sent me an ad. When I ask something like that I want unbiased opinions, the example here would not be one.
- jdimov 12y agoYou're never going to get unbiased opinions. Moreover, this business likely cares FAR more about meeting your needs than your "unbiased" friends do. Communism FAILED, kid. How about your grow up and live in the real world.
- untog 12y agothis business likely cares FAR more about meeting your needs than your "unbiased" friends do. It sounds like you have really awful friends, kid.
- TeMPOraL 12y agoNo, businesses care far more about tricking you into giving them as much money as possible for something. It's you who needs to look around and see the real world. Very rare is a business that offers you the best option for you. And such business usually doesn't even need to do tricks to "generate leads".
- jlarocco 12y agoThe internet really does draw all the scumbags. "Trying to have a private conversation with friends? Have some advertising shoved in your face! Don't like it? GTFO!" No wonder Twitter is dying. Anyway, I don't use Twitter much anymore, but have to agree with the OP. If I wanted the opinion of random strangers, I wouldn't go to Twitter, I'd just Google it.

- mcv 12y agoTwitter isn't exactly a private conversation.
- snowwrestler 12y agoNeither is a conversation on the subway, but no one wants a stranger butting in trying to sell something. When it comes to communications technology, what is possible is not the same thing as what is acceptable--or welcome.
