Never worked and never will.
When I wanna buy stuff I go to the specific site I always buy my things from.

I mostly mute during the ads too, and yet I somehow remember all the jingles.CrystalShadow said:On the other hand, nobody pays attention to TV ads either, so in that regard the OP's argument is a little strange. Most people I know mute the TV during ad breaks, and even go off and do something like go to the toilet, or get something from the kitchen. (or talk) while the ads are on.
Yeah, I wonder how many people voted that option just for the lolz.Wandering_Hero said:"Almost, But I Pulled Out Last Minute"
That's what he said.
Yeah, I've had moments where I'm browsing a page that'll have many interesting links, so I'll open tab, open tab, open tab, open tab, open tab, open... *BLARGH!!! SOUND EVERYWHERE!!!*Estarc said:The only ads I really hate are like, video ads when your browsing a webpage. So you have this ad in the top right, whatever, its normal, but instead of being static, it plays a video, complete with sound. Those infuriate me.
I got a warning from Escapist forum for that, didn't realise it was a rule.Mr.Squishy said:Oh, that, and I use Adblock plus.
He mentioned that which should not be named on The Escapist forums. It has something to do with a way people "deal" with advertisements.SmugFrog said:User received a warning for this post...
You know, when I see one of those I always check to see what the offender did. Problem is, sometimes I can't tell! Did you change the original post or something? I like to know so I don't make the same mistake, you know?
Ahahahah! Thanks, yeah I should've caught on to that. I should've known it was Voldem... whoa, almost slipped.Evonisia said:He mentioned that which should not be named on The Escapist forums. It has something to do with a way people "deal" with advertisements.
Probably the implication that he used adblockers. Promoting or endorsing adbockers is against the Code of Conduct, presumably because the Escapist doesn't want to scare off advertising revenue.Tanis said:Wait...why did the OP get a warning for this?
I'm confused.
Maybe I glossed over something in the post?
Ha! Exactly my own thoughts. If someone is interacting with pretty much any kind of media, they're getting exposed to advertising in some form. Those ads create awareness of a brand or service and it will inevitably result in someone, somewhere, buying the product or service. Create enough awareness, even subconsciously, and a company will rake in the $$ and keep advertising. It's pretty basic marketing and human nature. The folks claiming they're "immune" to advertising are clearly delusional.Sizzle Montyjing said:It's adorable how many people said no.
Of course they have, indirectly, at the very least, and most probably directly as well, although it'd be with stuff I'd already be interested about. Film and Videogame trailers are ads, y'know.
