What exactly is the downside of being in the botnet?

That literally did not happen.

Nah, I like that shit too. I actually have an account at a site that just has ad folders for shops I visit. Always good to know what kind of shit they're selling for cheap from a lazy chair. Capitalism done right is comfy.

gmail app doesn't even give me ads. I think I block the botnet too much outside of gmail and they don't datamine your emails anymore for ad targeting so it doesn't know what ads to give me.

nigger those are decent cheap jeans

>being logged into the botnet

>buying clothes

I've been wearing the same jeans, for six days now.

>see an ad
Right click -> block element. Ads should not be appearing in your browser in any form.

Got oyu beat. I've been wearing the same clothes for a month at least. It sucks being depressed.

Unless they were McDonalds paying for a shitty Taco Bell add to destroy their competitors.

>saved hundreds
>implying you would ever have been willing to pay hundreds for those jeans
sales are a pretty clever marketing trick, it lets you pull in more money from rich cunts who aren't willing to wait for sales, but also making something from the poor cunts who will
making a middle-of-the-road price without sales just means losing potential profit from the rich and impatient, while also reaching fewer consumers overall

-- oh yea, it also makes the item seem more valuable
as suggested in the OP, people who got it on sale are likely to consider them "$200 jeans", even though they didn't pay $200 for them

Firefox suspends tabs really inefficiently, chrome does it better.

lmfaoooo

My cheapest jeans are $125. Average pair is probably around $250

what are good email services?

I want to create an account on a certain website, but it shits itself when I type in @protonmail.com or @cock.li

>25$ jeans
>cheap
What world do you live in?

What third world shithole do you live in?

I actually think I'd struggle to find jeans for $25 in most shops.

He said decent cheap not cheap
Also jeans are fucking bullshit

Every time. It's always too late, or too persistent like said.

I just assume every online ad is some kind of scam. If I saw that ad for pants I wouldn't even expect the pants store to be real.
Also did Jow Forums know that there are ads on the 404 page now? The web is horrifying without adblock.
