IMHO it does contradict what you say. Intention doesn’t matter. If you copy currency , you either have to make apparent its fake currency or you are might get in trouble with law. Intention, aka motive is hard to prove and if proven doesn’t make it legal to copy official currency.

I have yet to see country that doesn’t mind copying their currency unofficially but I’m open to suggestions 🫡

Some people would call it counterfeiting but we won’t do that , right ?

It’s big corpo stuff. Once company grows over certain size left hand stops loosing sight of the right hand.
In other words one team gets task to make sure ads aren’t skipped ever, they don’t get rewarded for saying its dump idea but for implementation .
Later comes other team that gets task to fifure out why the hell electricity bill went up.
Then after that they figure out best way to save money is to reduce employee count.
Then after the adblocking sensation gets old, some one else responsible for perfomance comes with idea that rendering ads is inefficient and they will go back to popup ads.

It often doesn’t make sense and costumer service gets worse as companies grow so i wouldn’t be surpriced by something like this at all.

It’s mostly true but i can imagine them trying to render the ads directly into video or something to make it unakippable. Just like plain old TV ads.

To my surprise it actually works.
It’s kind of tactic of mass promotion and is expected that hundreds of folks will not give a damn but one in many will click on the ad.
Also companies (at least i did when i had to use it) often only pay for clicks or even for successful install of their apps so it’s much cheaper than e.g. classic tv spots where they have to pay for a time regardless ofeffectiveness.

I don’t know about peer2peer but decentralized alternative exists. e.g. peertube

• they don’t have Alphabet’s backing

Rossmann tested it in latest video. No difference between browsers. And that dude is strong ad block and none Google browser supporter.

Maybe they are not doing it to move to cleaner water but maybe they were promised more fish if they do by certain fisherman conglomerate. But i could be wrong.

Or they made enough and got better / same offer to be able to risk it at MS.

The guy is facing like dozens of criminal charges. How can someone like that run for presidency in the first place?

For my region it’s one time fee 9k $ “only”.
It is hilarious given the fact you can’t legally use it so it turns into better break asistent 😅
