    Fair point.

    But recently I encountered several people with the opinion that ads don’t ever work on them. And while not all ads work well and some people are more susceptible to them than others, I think very few people if any can claim ads don’t work on them at all.

        Meanwhile to me this is another piece of exasperating spam. My Steam account hasn’t been active in close to a decade but they never stop

          Can’t you just disable steam email notifications or unsubscribe from mailing list? You ideally shouldn’t have to login for the later.

            To disable, I’d have to login.

            I usually don’t like unsubscribing because it results in more spam. Even legitimate sites seem to sell your “verified email address”. Nowadays everything has a unique generated email so I can turn it off at will, but that was long before I started doing that

            So, laziness, inertia, excuses

      Ads don’t work on me CMV

      Though it’s probably because advertisers never promote things I actually want.
