My wife was pissed when I installed an adblocker for her - turns out she likes the ads.


I recently saw my GF's inbox, it's full of marketing emails, and when I told her she can unsubscribe or block them, she said she likes them as well.


There was a podcast I was listening to this week, and they were discussing the purpose of marketing emails, and they came to the conclusion that they're for women who actually open all of them lol. It was half sarcasm and pretty funny, not trying to by misogynist or something


Yes, they do open them all with so much eagerness it makes me wonder how they are able to manage so many emails. But eagerness and window shopping is their calling.


Massive generalization but sure lol


Right! My girlfriend runs ads all the time and even after explaining to her uBlock existed (before MV3) she wasn’t that interested. I can’t stand them, but she doesn’t seem to mind them. In fact sometimes enjoys them - not missing deals I suppose? I don’t quite understand it.


“Heavy sigh.”
