Last week I bought something online. Right after I bought it I began seeing advertisements for that exact product on every site I visited. I was thinking, "I just bought it. I don't think I really need to see ads for it."

The internet needs to work on its sales tactics.

LOL. My thoughts exactly ever since they began that crap.

It’s laughable that companies pay for such advertising (the worst part of it). But they do.

Worse than that, my phone’s touch screen sensitivity is higher on sponsored ads which reflect your comment. I’m constantly false-clicking those ads as a result.

Businesses are overpaying for internet ads and the statistics are skewed greatly to the ad companies’ favor.

Use AdBlock Plus on your browser and you won’t see any ads.
