Those fucking invasive ads. I can no longer pause my TV to read, or visually analyze something, because an ad pops up after a second or so after hitting pause. This seems more like torture than “Here is my product. Will you please buy it?”. We need to do something about ads. They have become like a cancer, rather than good information. Most people cannot “make it rain” into the economy anymore because they’re all broke and being careful right now, so most ads aren’t helping them, just interrupting the flow.
Maybe we need an extension that connects the ads to the amount in your bank account and only serves you things you might afford. If you have no money, you don’t get ads.
I hear you on this one. Like if it engaged after being paused for a minute or something fine but I think many people are like you or me wanting to pause to look at something in the background or with closed captioning trying to catch a hard to make out convo. One thing that cracks me up is im getting older and hit with wealth management ads. Its like. See there is a requirement for wealth management that I lack.

BRB, setting up a new bank account…
If you have no money you will get advertisements for financing the purchase of what you can’t afford. This already happens without an extension.
