I just hate how disgustingly time wasting and pointless they are. Modern marketing is so piss poor.

Especially on mobile, endless ads for regular apps I already have installed but mostly for shitty ripoff trash games.

I am always 0% interested in downloading it, so why the FUCK has it become de rigeur to force the ad to be shown for 30-60 seconds.

I've read into it a little and apparently even negative reaction to an ad still has a positive effect on brand recognition, but how does this apply to shitty mobile games.

Our governments are failing us by not regulating this utter bs, it's so incensing. But then again that's all smiling politicians ever do, take money under the table while the grinning general population votes for em again and again.



Half of HN is probably working on ad tech.
