A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

If they want me to stop blocking ads, they will need to get rid of ads like this. I get ads like this all the time and it’s completely inappropriate.

Seems like ad targeting works

I don't get ads like that too often, but the annoying thing for me is when the ad is 10x louder than the video itself.

There was this one add that had a gunshot sound then a really high pitched whistle.

They might have gotten in trouble as the whistle sound was eventually removed.
