No bashing here. I'm with you on this one.
I've had several people email me asking for the few items I've uploaded because of the ad "attacks". So.......might be a less than desirable marketing outcome?
Plus, aggressive advertising is usually an attempt to push a junk product. Quality sells garbage gets advertised with hard-sell tactics.
If you want me to view an ad: make it pertinent, make it informative, and make it selectable. Otherwise and I won't even consider the product.
