    I think this would imply that ads are living beings. Since they had no part in their own creation, you would just be hurting them for something they have no control over, which is what they were created for.

    Now if we could hurt the marketing team and executives who created the ads, that would be a different story

    We should all just collectively aggree to boycott the products of whatever ads we see. Make it known to advertisers that this is our stance. “Next product that I see in an ad that interrupts my video today gets a 3 month boycott”, etc.

      You mean the x that marks the spot with the treasure that is their even-more-ad-saturated website? The real close button is under a UI element you have to drag away to uncover. Get it quick though, the cover starts moving back as soon as you release it.

    Every person named “Ads” will now experience horrible pain whenever anyone, anywhere closes an ad. The monkey’s paw closes.
