This presupposes that I am paying any attention to them, rather than trying to block, skip or otherwise avoid them - which is what I am usually doing.
That doesn’t answer the question.
No, but it gave them a chance to remind everyone that they block ads. Now that the ads are gone, they have to reach out for other forms of interaction.
You can’t lose what you weren’t following in the first place.
You’re not a hero for using an ad blocker.
You’re not a good boy for ostracizing unexpected repliers.
The bigger problem is many times I have zero clue what they are advertising. No joke. Until they say the name at the end , I’m just clueless what they want to try to sell me.
I have seen a few like that, and I can’t even tell you what they were or what they were for even now because it was just a super confusing drama with no brand, no product, no message, and no real reason to exist.
I’ve seen plenty of confusing commercials that became clear at the end when they reveal a product or show the name of a business or whatever to actually advertise a thing to you. But then there are these that have no context, no information, and just leave you wondering why someone paid to have it run on TV.
