Why do people fall for this shit?

Why do people fall for this shit?

The Apple Macbook Pro with Retina Display doesn't have this problem.

Because the majority of people, even zoomers who actually grew up with computers don't know how they work beyond surface level.

>58.6% damage
>adult sites
>RECENT adult sites

Ppl are dumb, more news on the hour.
theres also shitloads of them watch porn, its an easy trigger.

How do you clear the url bar without opening up an empty page ?

This is 100% true.
All those retards who said (and still say) "omg this new generation is going to be ultra tech savvy and understand computers" is totally wrong.

Most everyone under the age of 30 knows how to basically use a computer, but only a fraction of them have any idea what's going on behind the scenes. The boomers who spout that crap are just so inept that just knowing how to use a device is wonderous to them.

>from recent adult sites
but all my porn is from jap hentai games

forget that they don't know how computers work beyond the bare minimum to interact with them. how do they not recognize fake shit. you develop an eye for it quickly.

The classic "50% of people have an IQ below 100" statement applies here.
It's amazing how many people just accept whatever is fed to them without any sort of critical thought involved.
This girl in my building managed to put fucking diesel in her car, never mind the fact that the pump handle is different, it won't even fucking fit into a gas car's filler neck, and it smells totally different from gasoline.

Standard Google-ish looking error page, some scary text about viruses and "recent adult sites" (which will scare some people because they don't want their parents/wife/children to find out), and a few clicks is all it takes to get infected.

999 out of 1000 people will not fall for it, though due to the nature of the internet, those failed attempts are essentially 0 effort on your part. The nigerian prince scam works because it's so blindingly obvious that anyone with 4 brain cells won't pay it any attention, but since you can blast emails to millions of people, you're going to catch those few that are seriously dumb.

Paste the code from that site, I need a laugh

i think you mean that *everyone* watches porn

Lack of education, self-imposed or otherwise.

Click the url bar.
Press backspace.
Press printscreen.

because Winlets are dumb enough to fall for it.

I've heard more than once that a lot of scams, spams, phishing, etc are actually deliberately done shoddily, since they only want to attract the very bottom of the barrel, and not waste their time with people who are dumb enough to reply, but then partway through realize something's fishy and either back out or report it.

More than 50% of the world cannot tell the difference between the internet and a browser, let alone an internet browser and a file browser.

Psh I only worry at 69% damaged. Bring it on faggots

yeah, I'm pretty sure this is true

ive heard this too. smarter people will report the crime to the relative authorities etc. but really dumb people wont.

>what's ublock origin
Seriously, people is just retarded. All you need is an adblocker and you will never see that shit again.

yes it does, the web pages run scripts to tell what browser you are running.

You know what it doesn't work well with though?

Yup. GNU/Linux.

Normies don't know what ad blockers are, and the majority of them would be so retarded that it would actually ruin their web experience cause they wouldn't even understand what is happening when page elements they are trying to interact with are blocked.

its almost exclusively older people for sure, ive worked with helping some of them and they are incredibly unbelievaby stupid when it comes to tech so they would 100% fall for this even after they fixed their old pc from the virus they got from the same exact thing

You don't need to know how computers work to see through this.

>working at a pretty good int company
>CEO ask for help because his laptop is laggy or some shit, wants to keep his bookmark and have another one
>open his browser
>countless shit not organized at all
>no adblocker
>history/cache/cookies not purged for month
Yeah not surprised, stupid people are everywhere.

Bump.

>omg this new generation is going to be ultra tech savvy and understand computers

People are using computers since 1980, i dont understand why Boomers claim "teens today" are tech savvy, the boomer forget about commondores ?

As someone that works in IT support, simply because people are stupid about IT.
I have to thoroughly guide people to click the start menu, or for example how to shutdown the iPad can take quite a while to explain.
Something pops up on the screen and tell them they have a virus? well yeah...
