my thoughts on some internet ads

TECHNOLOGY AND GAMING

the internet would be, like, 3% better if all ads could be reported. it's only the ads I don't see an option to report that are the malicious ones. the ones I *can* report are just normal - annoying, sure, but not actively harmful especially to the naive and technologically-illiterate. People that don't know any better and people who are desperate or curious are the ones clicking the malicious ads.

sure, I could contact the website owner or the brand or company or whoever and bring it to their attention, but more than likely that will simply be ignored or they won't be able to do anything about it. plus, this just isn't viable to be doing every time I notice a malicious ad. ad reporting is built-in for a lot of ads, it ought to be required for every ad.

thusly if all ads were required to be reportable, that would probably cause at least some website owners to actually verify the ads they're using.

and again, this is just an opinion and I am not a developer nor a website owner. this is an opinion from using the internet.
