Interestingly enough, I just noticed this happening on websites that have been doing it for years. Yes, some of these ads are in your face and you can&#x27;t help but notice them, but a lot of these ads are in the background. I call the ads because to my mind (and to the mind of most people; see usability studies) this garbage is just automatically tuned out except when it can&#x27;t be. Whether an actual ad was there or something that looks like an ad is absolutely irrelevant. I&#x27;m not going to see it anyway. Which just makes the idiotic messages that try to guilt and shame me more idiotic. For years (this is hardly a new trend) I&#x27;ve been ignoring them. Even after I read them, I ignored them and laughed at them.<p>Seriously, people let a fucking website tell them how to feel to the point that it actually affects their feelings? Now that is a serious security vulnerability that probably can&#x27;t be patched.
