MODERATORS
Not so fast. The idea that "if companies spend that much, they must have a reason" isn't any good either.
Some ads obviously work, some ads obviously don't work, and most of them aren't in either of those categories.
Fair point.
But recently I encountered several people with the opinion that ads don't ever work on them. And while not all ads work well and some people are more susceptible to them than others, I think very few people if any can claim ads don't work on them at all.
The only ad that works on me is when steam emails to say a game on my wish list is on sale
Meanwhile to me this is another piece of exasperating spam. My Steam account hasn’t been active in close to a decade but they never stop
Can't you just disable steam email notifications or unsubscribe from mailing list? You ideally shouldn't have to login for the later.
To disable, I’d have to login.
I usually don’t like unsubscribing because it results in more spam. Even legitimate sites seem to sell your “verified email address”. Nowadays everything has a unique generated email so I can turn it off at will, but that was long before I started doing that
So, laziness, inertia, excuses
Ads don't work on me CMV
Though it's probably because advertisers never promote things I actually want.
