    They honestly never bothered me too much but I have to say if they ever succeed in defeating the ad blockers it will be hard to go back now that I’ve seen this side.

      People have been conditioned into viewing ads as a normal every day part of life. It’s actually kind of scary, since it’s basically mind games to convince people to hand their money over.
