I think as a child I got viruses from one of the ads, you know, the ones would put on the side of the site. We had to call in a guy, to clean parents’ computer. I felt really guilty and never touched those ads again.
So Google’s and Meta’s main business are ads. And recently I felt confused. Do people click on ads? Don’t these ads feel phishy to them?
Ha! Here I was thinking it was some sort of garbled “your mum” joke.
Nah dude, I never understood why some people get their kicks by being nasty online :)
Thankyou for restoring my faith in you, mate. I hope the girlfriend shopping issue works itself out (perhaps she should use her phone hotspot to connect her shopping machine if she wants to be scammed? I use mine for some stuff on occasion, if and as necessary, and my boyfriend and other housemates are thus not affected) and I hope the rest of your weekend is excellent.
I wish you a very nice weekend to you as well!
Just to add some extra detail, apparently if you look for clothes/shoes the ads are actually legit in the sense that they will just have a display on g@@gle but, if you do want to purchase, clicking will then take you to H&M or what have you. It has been years that ads are non existent for me so I got used to look for the sites where I want to shop but… she taught me that certain people use ads to discover stuff…
