I’m not strawmaning you. I’m flatly saying you’re wrong. I’m saying it’s not as often as you’re protraying. That your inflating the severity of the problem. Again you said “incessant” when you already pointed out it doesn’t happen often enough to fit that characterization.
Wait wait wait.
THAT’S what you’re talking about?
THAT’S what’s got you all agitated?
I thought we were talking about the full page advertisement.
THAT’S not even an ad!
You’re waaaaay out there. Never mind. There’s no debating crazy.
We’ve been over this. It’s the same ad you’re seeing multiple times.
Like looking at a wall on the street covered by a dozen copies of the same band poster. They all don’t count separately. They’re all for the same event. Just like this.
Oh Wow! This is the first different one! I haven’t seen that since I sent a referral to someone.
In fact I might argue it’s not so much an ad in itself, but a request for you to send someone an ad. It works more like those reminders a lot of sites have. The ones that want you to complete setting up your profile. It’s more that kind of thing than an actual ad.
… Or maybe I clicked the “Don’t show this again” button. I don’t remember.
No, you’re saying something I haven’t said is wrong. I keep telling you it’s not once or twice, and yet you still keep arguing with the idea of once or twice. That’s the very definition of a strawman.
you already pointed out it doesn’t happen often enough to fit that characterization.
I did not. You made that up. I’ve been using the platform for several years. It has refused to cease, despite my protests. Again, the definition of incessant.
I was trying to give you the benefit of the doubt, and assume you weren’t being literal; That you were being hyperbolic, as I said. It’s not Strawmaning if I’m saying your wrong in how often it hapens. Which I am. It’s not as often as you say.
It’s literally only a couple of times a year. Specifically when they have a sale. That’s all. Nothing more. Ever. In total your’re only seeing the large ad twice a year. And the upgrade button in the corner of the website for a week or so, as long as each sale is on.
Your characterization and annoyance are extreme and unreasonable.

Look, another 3 days later, another ad:
This time a pop-up ad when I opened my VPN! Fun! But don’t worry, it only happens 1-2x/year…
Yep still the same one Black Friday sale.
LOL you don’t get to call it “the same ad” when it pops up in different places just because it’s for the same deal
Of course I do. You’re not the boss of me.
And you’re not so big!
You’re really committed to this bit, aren’t you?
Oh look there’s another ad today. A week later. But yeah, it’s only once or twice a year.
Wait wait wait.

That’s not an ad!? WTF is it then?
It’s a little button in the corner to turn on a feature, no different from any other setting.
It is not a button to turn on a feature, it’s an invitation to spend more money (AKA an ad). You don’t even know what you’re talking about.
As I said, there’s no debating crazy
Hey there. Me again. 2 days later and there’s another ad:
We’ve been over this. It’s the same ad you’re seeing multiple times. Like looking at a wall on the street covered by a dozen copies of the same band poster. They all don’t count separately. They’re all for the same event. Just like this.
Hey there. Me again. Another week, another ad. Are you still going to delude yourself into believing this is not a thing?
Oh Wow! This is the first different one! I haven’t seen that since I sent a referral to someone.

I’m shocked.

That’s what I’m saying. I’m done.
You’re just lying.
