One problem the advertising industry fails to understand is that an advertising agency, or whatever source the ads originate from, is a socioppath.

Developers are logical and practical thinkers and despise sociopathic behavior.

Developers have a very strong resistance to this sort of manipulation.

Advertisers are unable to cope with this reality or understand their true nature in our economy, so they continue to do more "research" on how to engage developers, who in turn, learn how to better detect and evade sociopaths

Im also very surprised that in 2022, there are developers that see ads at all, outside of glancing at some non technical person's youtube tab.There are browsers now that are completely ad free, even without add-ons or extensions. Ads are horribly toxic in nature and an offense to the human psyche and to any person's dignity.
