Re: Internal advert filters
The ad-slingers know this perfectly well and they don't care. Read that again.
They don't care. They have no interest in selling you anything.
They are actually very good at selling but they're not even trying to sell anything to you.
They sell advertising to advertisers.
You might wonder why they succeed when that uncomfortable truth is so obvious. It's easy. In a big business they have allies in marketing departments. Some of those may well realise that but also realise that their entire careers depend on pushing business to the advertising industry. And in any case even if the advertisers realise that all the adverts they see are obnoxious spam they themselves are very special and their adverts aren't spam, they're valuable marketing messages.
