Google is a large company, they need to pay their employees and server. It's pretty entitled of you to expect them to work for free. /s

I read this everywhere these days. Shilling has become culture.

I dunno how other people operate but I never once bought something off an ad.

Does it? Can you even remember a product that you bought after looking at its ad?

Let me take a look at what I buy. No, everything has been reviewed, thought upon (cos I ain't rich) and then maybe bought.

Frightening, isn't it?

They frame it that way to reenforce the notion that ads are an inevitable thing.

As Netflix and producers of toilet paper know well, people in the end are happy to pay for things they like or need. But Google and its like have discovered that instead of selling stuff to me, it's much more profitable to sell me to others.

No thanks.

God I wish the days would catch on in america, you just don't get the same level of clean with toilet paper, seriously I used to have problems with an itchy anus, doctor always said it was normal. Even when it was red from wiping too much just to try to get rid of the itch.

Switching to a bidet cured everything.

If I start to itch back there I just use the bidet, clears it right up

Sadly it hasn't become culture, that was a thing even back in the days when the internet was just gamefaqs, new grounds, and whatever Message Board your mates went to.

They are good on paper

But not in execution

If you're going to show me ads thag I give a shit about they may be less annoying.

We wouldn't have gotten this far if they weren't good in execution. Ads may not work on you or many people in this thread, but it works on enough people to make this worth it.
