To be fair the gambling apps already advertise like crazy on every other app that allows ads so they should have seen this coming.

It's not like mobile ads were ever good, they're bottom of the barrel.

Most have a fake X in the corner to close the ad. That Evion or whatever game went from animated ads to only showing scantly-clad women to a mini-game puzzle.

apple is going learn fast that the people that run those sorts of scammy ads are incredibly good at evading detection and getting through ad approvals/moderation. They'll get it sorted out in time.

So far I've not seen a single ad I would have even pegged as an ad if it wasn't tagged. Clearly they have SOME problems, but it seems like people are blowing it out of proportion.

I'd still rather no ads because fuck advertising, I'm the sort of guy who runs a pihole, ublock, privacy badger etc, but so far it just feels like normal app store promotion but they get paid for some of the placement now.

See, that's the difference between our politics. I say the right is antisemitic, and you are personally insulted. I didn't call you antisemitic, I called the party you support antisemitic.

Conservatives seem to believe that all criticism of their party, is a personal attack - and that's the purpose of propaganda.

I don't give a shit about the democratic party, I just the smartest, and least evil, politicians in office.

The vast majority of anything that could be considered a riot was committed by right wing agent provocateurs. You are believing hyperbolic nonsense from known and proven propagandists because it agrees with the victim complex that the right wing has perpetuated.

You're right.. I'm probably to stupid to understand the difference between racism and nuanced political debate.

thatfreshjive t1_iu5rwiw wrote

And that's where the problem is - politics is about society as a WHOLE, not about how YOU feel. The entire republican platform is "own the libs". Government is supposed to work for EVERYONE - otherwise, it has no purpose. Corporations don't need government, PEOPLE do. You AND I.

Since the data first started getting recorded, the economy has been significantly better under Democratic presidents, for example.

And you don't care about the world around you, or learning new things.

Your faith is the answer for anything you don't know, and outlets like Fox, Newsmax, Breitbart - serve you groups of people to hate, and the world seems smaller and more manageable.

It's like the Jehovah's Witnesses - the door-to-door isn't actually about recruiting, it's to teach members that outsiders are mean, and evil, but the church is family. It's safer with them.

How much of a looser do you have to be think that someone claiming having occasional sex is unbelievable is kinda amazing, really. It's not quite claiming to be a Chad fucking anything that moves. It's really just an adult mentioning a rather average amount of sex.
