Honestly, does anyone ever read any pop up ad? I immediately have the emotion of hate that there is some annoying window blocking what I am trying to to read. They are lucky I just tune out what the hated window is telling me.
We should elect government people who would regulate the ads on everything. Ads can’t pop up. Ads can’t auto play. Ad can’t be bigger than this.
We are getting to the sucky part of capitalism. Ads on everything.
I always said if I was ever given supreme executive authority, I would outlaw ads and then immediately step down. It would be my one move, and the world would be better for it.
But, then, how will I know about that product that I don’t need and will never buy, that is literally on every shelf in every store? (/s, in case that wasn’t obvious)
We draw stock internationally via FedEx, with usually at least one shipment arriving per day.
If I have a particularly urgent order for my customer, I will of course be tracking the incoming shipment.
Every. Damn. Time. I visit their website, I get halted in my usual manic pace by their stupid, slow to load pop up. I haven’t even been able to figure out how to block it, and usually don’t have time when I’m working to figure these things out.
Our company gives you so much money, FedEx - why do you have to be so difficult to work with as thanks?!
Vote in younger people and vote in educated people. And yes government CAN work for us and do good things. You have to vote for people who would do that.
Did anyone see that Biden’s bill gave more funds to the IRS. They hired more people to help us, and go after the rich tax cheats, and are making a free government online filing system. Also the TurboTax company are complaining about it…and the rich, and Republicans.
That doesn’t work in the US, we’ve tried. I work in IT and the amount of people that have zero clue about tech amazes me. It’s like 75-80% of the population has zero fucking clue about anything behind how the Internet works. For example, when Montana lawmakers said “We’re passing a law to ban TikTok.” but didn’t expand beyond that.
EU has so far proven to know how the internet work and has been able to properly regulate it, so for my part yes. I would be delighted to see EU regulation on ads. But I don’t know anything about your government, maybe the really don’t know anything about tech but the EU government surely does.
I’m from the US, so our law markers are generally boomers that don’t know shit or people in my generation that still don’t know shit. Just watch the various public hearings of them questioning Mark Zuckerberg or Sundar Pinchai and shake your head with me.

I like how you didn’t limit it to online ads, so you’re talking about outlawing billboards etc. as well.
You are allowed to put a sign on the business’ actual physical location - and that’s it.

We’ll transmit that information to you via Neuralink™.

Do you really want a bunch of people who don’t know how the internet and general tech works, along with massive corporate interest, regulating ads?
Edit: I’m from the US where our law markers are generally old and/or incompetent.

I also would like government healthcare.

Right now better than half or government doesn’t know how to govern. They are too busy fighting among themselves and imploding thanks to MAGA.
