    That’s what Quark sees when he tries to call Moogie. Quark won’t accept any advertising in his bar except for his bar.

      So Disney Channel rules, then? I remember in 2008 when I was visiting a friend and their kid sister was watching Disney, and after about an hour or so of it being on in the background while we hung out that I started to notice that the only things advertised on the Disney channel were all things owned and operated by Disney or a Disney subsidiary.

        Isn’t this advertisement just horrible? Does it make you want to claw your eyes out? Pay up $20 per month to remove HALF of them! Thank you for always trusting us to do the right thing!

        (not related to star trek, I just fucking hate ads and advertisers)

          That’s more so amazon can claim they aren’t commercials, but previews to upcoming shows you might enjoy. Though I suspect that within 18 months there will be amazon shopping adverts based on your shopping history. “Check out this overpriced dropship item even though you already purchased a similar product 6 months ago and don’t need two!”

    It would be absolutely on brand for a ferengi to have a 30 second ad before each communique.

      All Ferengi coms really should be an ad-encrusted nightmare: trailer before session, banners and popups during, ad breaks, and then a trailer at the end. Oh and a prompt, either manual or automated, to dismiss all ads for a subscription fee or an expensive one-time fee.

      But with that recent paywall joke in LD, maybe that’s on the way?

    Don’t use any website that has messages like that. I don’t block ads because I don’t wait to buy new products. I block a wide range of content that’s privacy invasive and sometimes malious

    It’d be nice to block URLs of sites with intrusive popups and.adblock popups. I hit back as soon as it happens, so it’s not like I use them.anyway. removing them from search results and.sucj would save time.
