If you use an ad blocker then you are a millennial.

Don't care. I'll block your shitty ads forever, boomer.

What if you block ads without an ad blocker?

>categorizing people based on arbitrary birth year thresholds made up by pseudo scientists desperately trying to give their sorry excuse of a profession some value
into the trash it goes

>>60151031
But I'm.

Viewing ads makes you retarded. I don't see why I have to let some multi-national corporation use underhanded psychological techniques to manipulate me.

>>60151181
finally someone says it

can we also kill all psychologists? they're quacks making shit up as they go

is there a name for the phenomena of disliking something solely because of the people that use it or perception of people that use it?
blocking ads is popular amongst millennials -> I do not like millennials -> therefore I do not like ad blocking software

Psychology is a legit profession, but, yes, many psychologists will interpret their own way.

No, I'm a millenial because I was born in that time period. Fuck's up with you dinosaurs and your inability to understand simple definitions?

>>60151122
>>60151347

I was born in '91, and both of you need to get off my lawn while I continue to block ads on every website I visit.

It's called being a fan hater.
You dislike something not because of the thing itself, but because of its fan base.

>top social usage
>google+
wtf

>>60151257
Good, advertisers love you for it.

>>60151505
Doesn't gmail/Youtube/Android force you to make a Google+ account?

>>60151505
You don't use G+?

>>60151526
Not per se, since it's the same account... Don't think you need to enter in anything extra for G+ itself..

Also I don't think just having an account is counted in as using it, because then it would be above youtube.

>>60151527
i did for like a month when it was releaesd, then no one was using it anymore

>>60151552
Eh, they fucked up by making it 18+ only initially and held it like that for months. Most kids missed out on the hype, and guess who drives adoption of social networks? Sure as hell ain't dear old granny and gramps. By the time kids could sign up the hype blew over and few still gave a fuck.

>>60151031
Fuck ads and fuck you

>>60151584
this tbqh senpai

I don't want to be 'reached'. I don't want to engage in an active conversation with "the world's leading customer intelligence platform". Fuck. Off.

>>60151031

An ad blocker isn't really an ad blocker.

It's one more anti-malware component. Blocking ads because they're advertisements is just a secondary function.

>>60151694
This.

>hurr, how do we reach an audience that's actively blocking our attempts to reach them?
Fucking retarded marketers.

>>60151031
Well, they're probably right. But I dont get why advertising companies can't understand that we dont want to have advertising shown to us all the fucking time. You dont or didnt see ads in the newspaper on every fucking page taking up 50% of the space, they were condensed to a few pages in the middle. Why should every aspect of the internet be plastered with millions of ads?

Here's a ridiculous idea, start making good products that people will talk about through word of mouth

>>60151031
Go get a job, boomer.

>>60151237
My subconscious do not belong to corporations.

By expressing that sentiment on 4chan you are probably engaging in a conversation with the world's leading customer intelligence platforms tbqh.

I'm not a millennial but I finally installed an ad blocker on my smartphone. Way too many ads on legit pages hijacking the entire page to shits like this. It made the internet damn near unusable.

If the ad industry wants to know why we're blocking their ads, it needs to look in the mirror.

bait

I am a millennial and I do use an adblocker, Fuck ad companies and Fuck you OP

>>60151031
t. Forbes

>>60153803
Most annoying thing about hijacking ads on smartphone is that they use the fucking vibrate function. Who the fuck thought it was a good idea?

Millennials include 37 year olds with kids in high school, and actual kids in high school

>>60151255
Psychologists are therapists and therapists are usually great people

>>60151031
Browsing the web on an Android phone without an adblocker now is like using XP in 2001 without an anti-virus.

>>60151031
>Gen z
>Gen x
Fucking hate these useless buzzwords. Should go straight into the trash along with "internet of things", and "user engagement".

>>60151378
>Witness kid on a bike get hit by a car just couple weeks ago
>Call 911, he's bleeding from his head and his arm is fucked but he's conscious
>Emergency operator asks many questions like is he hurt, is he awake, what can you see, can you talk to him
>They want me to ask him how old he is, he says 15
>They want me to ask his date of birth
>Something January 2002
>What
>Hesitate for a moment, not sure if I should tell emergency line he is answering weird shit
>Takes me like 5 seconds to realize someone born in 2002 is 15 now

In the end the kid was fine though. His arm was fucked but the head was only superficial

>>60151527
Who the fuck used Google +

>>60156638
This
I would use Firefox with ublock if it wasn't so damn slow in android

>>60151031
I just want the ad-supported internet to collapse so that only universities and web rings remain.

>>60156676
I tried it out for like a week or so.
Concept was okay, but was obvious that it wont get accepted by mainstream

>>60151548
But YouTube was bought by Google and then there were some double accounts etc for a while, not sure how this was merged eventually.

Really though literally no one uses G+. Maybe they have a G+ page and are unaware of it.

>>60151031

Why does gen Z have such shitty taste in tech, /g/?

They didn't even add a little circle for desktop time for them.

Also they vibrate, spam and sometimes even high pitch noises

I'm so glad I installed an adblocker on my phone, the mobile web is actually pretty decent now

>>60153803
Do you need to root your phone for this?

>>60151031
My avg hours a week in front of a TV is 0. Who the hell watches TV anymore? Ads can't be skipped so an 80 minute movie becomes a 2h movie. It's disgusting. Streaming is even more retarded.

>>60152532
If you think this is true you are cooked in the head mate and need to open a newspaper. Old media is just as bad as new media and is the reason why old marketers thought they could pull the same shit.

>Not Blocking Ads on a super-comfy proxy.
>Not filtering your DNS requests.

Ad blockers just slow down your browser by a factor of 50,000.

>>60151031
What do you mean? Millennials are smarter?

>>60157233
I have a nexus phone so there is no bloat. The botnet is real ofc

Friendly reminder that millenial started with people born in 1982

>>60151491
there are a surprisingly high number of people like this on /v/.

>the fanbase ruined this singleplayer game for me, I used to love it but I can't play it now

>>60157233
A lot of newer android phones can only get root through some root application which installs its own botnet. Noone at XDA cbf making root exploits anymore.

>>60156786
Firefox for Android lets you install addons i.e. ublock

>>60151031
Good, you deserve it for ruining the economy, grandpa

>>60151031
Honestly better being a Millennial than a Gen Z.

>>60156741
ads can use the vibration motor on lagroid? LMAO

>>60157393
Don't forget the people who complain about new things ruining their childhood. As though the thing that they loved no longer exists.
