Oh haha! My wife had a similar issue with Google and those "deals" it shows, when searching for something to buy :D

Haha. Same with mine. She was mad that she was not seeing ads everywhere as she liked to interact with them and buy stuff.

God regular people are so fucking weird haha. I just can't wrap my mind around wanting to click on ads.

Sometimes I wonder if working in local television news for 10 years and being subjected to ads basically constantly broke something in me.

Pop up ads in the early internet days are what made me not ever want to click on an ad. Regular people must have missed that era of Internet.
