Comment on This blatantly deceptive ad for Threads

Ads are basically invisible to me now anyway. Theyre just instructions on where to click or to keep scrolling.

If its free, that means youre not the customer youre the product. Im not tech savvy enough to know what kind of product I am with something like that.
I wouldn’t know how to even begin finding out.

I guess its where you draw the line on what’s an acceptable level. I don’t think either of us will be downloading HALFLIFE3BETA.EXE from thepiratebay, even though all you have to do is install it and thats it.
