Unobtrusive ads
-
From the same mind that brought us backgrounds with ads, I present you the next level:
This is how the site opens up. To "bring up the content" you have to scroll down or press that little button.

TRWTF is memetic font on the left image. What does it say?
-
"Travel light with your {{brand}}"
-
TRWTF is posting just a low res image, without a link.
-
By ‘memetic font’, do you mean impact? Because that's not impact.
-
Still, it looks like badly made meme image.
-
oh come on! Here I am trying to save some bandwidth for you and I get thrown to the fire for it? About the link, here you go
Hmmm... not sure why it's not working now, so you might not get the same page with the full ad. Just in case
-
Is this something I'd need to turn off Adblock Plus to understand?
-
Yes you should turn that off you dirty revenue-thieving freeloader. Do you want the entire internet to get paywalled?
Only half kidding
-
Do you want the entire internet to get paywalled?
It pretty much is entirely paywalled, and the currency is attention.
Fortunately, most of the wall builders suck at their jobs.

Ultimately it is cash.
Advertising is incredibly expensive, and the fact that most business operators perceive it as necessary inflates the cost of almost every item we buy.
The less well it works the less people will be willing to pay for it, and the less everything else will cost as a result. Therefore, ad blocking reduces the overall cost of living for everybody*. By denying advertisers access to my eyeballs, I'm doing you a nanofavour!
only half kidding
*except the folks who design and publish the advertisements, and they've worn out their welcome so fuck 'em

No repro.
I get it now. You made the whole thing up. That's why it was so low res, to hide the Photoshop artifacts. Admit it, you attention whore! How many likes did you steal with your heartless fraud!?
-
This whole thread was just a stealth ad for [luggage company].
-
well it didn't work! i'm going to go buy my luggage from [other luggage company]!
-

Yeah! And I'm just going to stay in my basement, subsisting on moss and moisture that seeps into the foundation, like always! Ha!
-
that's nice deer
-
Maybe it's a referrer thing.
-
I didn't get an ad with either link but maybe that's because I use adblock.
-
I don't use adblock and didn't get the ad
-
Well then, good thing I took a screenshot of it.
-
I tried loading the page in IE and it didn't even render at all.
-
That's what I'm calling bullshit. You've got memes on the brain. The vertical ratios on that font, the jaunty angle, and the arbitrary offset applied to each letter give it a completely different look than meme text.
-
Ok, maybe the font isn't very memetic, but the stupid girl with even more stupid grin definitely is.
-
The guy in the middle would also work as an image macro baseline. Just imagine that shit-eating grin bracketed with “CAME HERE TO FIND NEW WTF” and “USED DISCOURSE ON MOBILE”…
-
CAME HERE TO FIND NEW WTF
# USED DISCOURSE ON MOBILE
-
the web without adblock is barely tolerable.
also, the two major argentinian newspapers do the same thing
-
Off to meta.d!
