What Really Grinds My Gears: Pop Up Ads

Grinds my gears 500x300By David Buonafina

You wanna really know what grinds my gears…, when you’re watching a program on Youtube or Netflix and lots of notifications or commercials pop up. I mean seriously!

We Americans want to watch our shows with no commercials and whaddya know the stupid ads that nobody likes to see, magically appear on your TV. It’s just a waste of money for people like the CEO of Netflix, collect your credit card charges. Basically, you’re paying about $100 a year just to watch movies that I could already do on my old 1970’s Samsung for free!

The whole reason I watch Netflix is because I don’t want to see any commercials on my favorite movies and shows, and now they just suddenly appear. One of the constant advertisements is the 7-day free trial you get when you watch Netflix. I mean, can you get a advertisement from Netflix from Netflix?

Skip Ad grayMaybe, I won’t pay for Netflix anymore, I’ll just watch something for free like Youtube. Now obviously, I think that Youtube is really great and all, but there is just one problem. The stupid 30 second commercials that you just cannot skip. I mean when I’m trying to play Angry Birds or Candy Crush, I have to wait 30 seconds for a stupid video that talks about an app or a game that someone really wouldn’t like to play or buy.

Usually, these ads say that you will get a reward if you watch it; turns out those companies make us suffer by not giving us anything. Man, I really wonder where the inventor from AdBlock is. He must be doing well, isn’t he?

Well, my solution is, if you have the money to spend, or if you’re like me, who believes that its a scam, or I would use the money just to pay off my house!

Anyways, thanks for listening to my rant again as always, and remember… Grinds My Gears will always be near! Signing Off!
