Download Button Triplets without Adblock

  Those fake download buttons go way back - they were around in the late 90s. In a quarter century the ad industry hasn’t managed to block this easy to detect scam and therefore I never will deactivate my adblocker. Fuck them.

    I’m 99% sure it uses Google ads, they don’t care if it’s scam or porn, as long as they get money for the ad

      It really disappoints me that Google never did anything about those. Shows how profitable they must be.

    To be fair, there are few select sites which have tighter advertising control.

    I went for all three and got many more downloads in the background. That was the right choice.

  This is the new captcha: only an AI would know which is the real download button.

    I can tell you never pirated anything. It’s always the smallest most boring HTML 1 looking button that is hiding out of the way not being flashy.

      What a strangely hostile response to an obvious joke

    Same kind of shady mess trying to download Minecraft mod packs.

      That’s why I only download those from Modrinth or CurseForge
