Re: Puzzled
"You ask why the ad-flingers persist."
No. I don't. It's obvious.
They get paid by companies trying to get their brand to the masses, and will promise those companies the Sun and Moon to get their ad dollars.
Then they blast the ads at the public, who doesn't want them, for pennies on the dollars they take in.
Public loses through degraded, dangerously malware filled "advertising".
Companies lose. Both financially and reputationaly for using the ad-flingers.
Ad-flingers rake it in from the real morons, the Companies that pay them.
That's why they persist.
