Answer the Question with a Question (6)

[Leaf473]

Good catch, but wouldn't that be the fault of Google voice typing?

 

[David's Harp]

Are you saying Google lacks brand awareness?

 

[lucypevensie]

Haven’t you ever seen ads on Google?

 

[Philip_B]

Does Google advertise on Google?

 

[Leaf473]

Doesn't Google just want to give us the best advertising experience?

 

[ozso]

Does it advertise ad blockers?

 

[Leaf473]

Isn't Google coming out with Manifest V3 which will limit the ability of ad blockers to limit Google's ability to give us a better advertising experience?

 

[ozso]

Isn't that what Firefox is for?

 

[Leaf473]

While it is true that Firefox ad blocking add-ons will probably still work, isn't it also true that there are many interesting quotes at this website
Chrome Users Beware: Manifest V3 is Deceitful and Threatening
the implications of which are difficult to discuss in a questions-only game format? (Whew )

 

[lucypevensie]

Have you tried Duck Duck Go which does a pretty good job of eliminating annoying pop ups and flashing/blinking/very bothersome ads?

And do you think there could be a compromise of some kind - as in, fine show us your stupid ads, but if we have to see them could you make it so those of us with sensory issues don’t have to endure the flashing and jumping around?

(It’s ok to ask more than one question per post, isn’t it? Or … is it?)

 

[Leaf473]

Isn't DuckDuckGo my default search engine, while Google's chromium-based browsers (whose add-on ad blockers will stop working soon) have about an 85% market share, I think?

 

[lucypevensie]

Who can save us from the ads?

 

[Leaf473]

Maybe the TV show Mad Men, which I've never seen but apparently is about good old-fashioned advertising?

 

[David's Harp]

Did you put an ad up for a reply?

 

[lucypevensie]

Doesn’t it cost money to advertise?

 

[Leaf473]

Doesn't it seem like the ad industry has become to commercialized, and lost the true meaning of advertising?

 

[ozso]

Exactly, why no more plop plop fizz fizz?

 

[lucypevensie]

Speaking of advertising, do you enjoy political ads as much as I do?

 

[Philip_B]

Is not advertising to the doorway to the commercialisation of all manner of good things?

 

[Leaf473]

If advertising is the doorway, what is the entry hall?
