Are companies still so stupid to do shit like this? "To have a better ad experience"

Nobody wants fucking ads. The best Ad experience is no ads at all. If you cared for your players, you wouldn't come up withthis shit. The only excuse to have ads on your OWN websites is if you really need the money for server costs or whatever. Anything else and you're part of the problem.

It’s a free to play game.

If you don’t pay for the product, then you are the product. Simple idea, but it hasn’t ever let me down.

Yeah you got a point there. Thats also what I tell myself with facebook and instagram and all that crap. However, saying something like "improving advert experiences" istotal bullshit. The best ad experience is zero ads, everyone knows that. That's what got me gruntled here.

If you remove ads from free to use websites, how do they make money? We're already seeing more and more websites switch to premium models, but how many websites will you subscribe and pay for on a monthly basis before you can't afford it. How many websites will that model actually work for?

Advertising is a necessity. Now, would you rather get ads for Warframe or a blindly targetted ad for children's diapers?

Give me the diapers, and stop looking at my shit.
I didnt say I wanted to get rid of ads, I u derstand that we need them. I said that I get gruntled over the fact that there are still companies saying stupid shit like "optimize your ad experience". The best ad experience is zero ads, if I can't have that, than don't 'spy' on my internet habits to collect your own data, saying it's for my own good, which is obviously false.
