I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

    I didn’t make the original comment - I make that mistake all the time when responding to people lol.

    This is the problem with online “debates,“ people just pretend nuance and implications don’t exist. Or they just sort of fall into online argument patterns and forget it.

    It is very clear that they are talking about an individual solution to get ads away from you right now. I feel like if we were all sitting at a dinner table having a conversation you wouldn’t be nearly as challenging about that as you are now. But we’re online, so people act like there’s no possible way to interpret things other than fiercely literally. It’s just a natural extension of not giving people the benefit of the doubt, refusing to engage with the best possible version of somebody’s argument. We’re always looking for holes, even if we might agree with the person.
