Yes, the annoyance of the ads is the bigger problem. Give short, non-annoying ads (the solar ones are some of the worst) and I won’t work to stop them.
Or at the very least, show me a healthy variety of ads, instead of spamming the same ad over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and–
their ad algo sucks. You search diets, and suddenly your inbox is spammed for months with weightloss adds. or they determine you’re a stay at home mom because you let your SiL on your network one time… and now you get shit loads of bra adds. (okay, maybe they just determined I have really nice boobs. Which is kinda why I was looking for the diet… manboobs aren’t really all that attractive.)
