'Pay to remove ads' is such an awful insidious now common phrase. Give us money or else we'll do this to you. If you don't pay us, we will control your experience. We will force ourselves upon you unless you meet our demands. Modern day protection racket.

@TheBreadmonkey Most of the time it really means “pay to stop us tracking and profiling you for ads” which is horrendous. I’m a lot more relaxed with the idea of being shown generic ads than targeted ads.

Again, I’m convinced that the ads don’t actually work to make people buy things and that this whole industry’s business case is built on sand.

Pearl & Dean, where are you when we need you?

I miss knowing there’s an excellent curry house, minutes from the cinema.

@blabberlicious @Nickiquote @TheBreadmonkey P&D are still around, though for some reason the Curry houses stopped advertising at the pictures

I live in Tooting, where the film Stars advertise in the Windows of the curry houses.

Pearl and Dean don’t get a look in.

The longest word in that ad is 7 letters. I feel like I'm losing my mind.
