    • Sneakily work together in secret, private meetings to manipulate people’s beliefs
    • Have direct influence over which companies make money
    • Have direct influence over which politicians are elected
    • Have direct influence on which laws are popularized vs vilified
    • Make obscene amounts of money by parasitizing others’ work
    • Lie constantly
    • Perpetually working to worsen society for their own benefit
    • Have space lasers (okay, not this one, as far as I know)

    You know, most of the crap anti-Semites say about the jews is actually true of the marketing industry.

      On some of the sketchier sites, if you inspect the webpage before doing anything, the clickable part of the ad may be larger than what you see or sometimes is even a transparent overlay over the entire webpage.

    I predict that after an ad pops up, the next thing the user clicks is usually whatever closes the ad.

    Jokes aside, some virtual keyboards (definitely in iOS, probably some Android ones too) give keys that are more likely to come next a slightly larger hitbox so they are easier to tap.
