I've experienced that and wondered the same thing. The only explanation (other than blatant stupidity) that I could think of is that a certain percentage of people will be unhappy with their purchase and return it and look for another one. The only thing is, a lot of the time the ads I see are for the exact... same... item... that I bought.
Makes you wonder where in the Wide Wide World of Sports all those CPU cycles are going. What kind of crazy, useless things unrelated to front panel button presses are being done.
So AT&T was awarded $6.5 billion by the government to build out a wireless first responders network for FirstNet. I guess they'll just take a little bit of that and give it back. Yeah, this will probably end well.
I'm guessing people that write compilers would say "meh this isn't my issue". And they wouldn't be wrong - it would require them to spend time to do it well, legitimate users wouldn't care about the feature, and it would probably slow everything down.. Trying to solve security issues by making a compiler/malware scanning FrankenProgram is just a bad idea. Anyway, whoever is writing the code probably would just use an older compiler.
Many, many years ago I would get calls from AT&T offering me some amazing deal if I switched my landline service to them. I would ask them repeatedly whether that was the actual bottom line price that I would be billed for, and they would assure me it was. Then, I'd receive my first bill and it would be almost double what they said. I would call customer support, and they would tell me that the sales group was a different department and they shouldn't be making promises like that and it couldn't be changed. That happened twice. Finally I got rid of my landline and swore I'd never give AT&T another dollar of my money ever again.
Until a couple years ago, when they bought DirecTV. Bastards, now they're getting money from me again. And that's another shady bill that gradually creeps upward every couple of months.

The only catch is they perform analytics on the traffic and insert their ads onto all web pages. But hey, they're cheap!
Seems like they could do something that makes you prove you're a person before asking for login credentials.
And the sellers have been removed as well?
No, no, no, I didn't say your other options would still allow you to see everything under +1. Stay with us here please.
That's what I do too. But there are other options.
They will get modded up.
If you browse at 1 or higher, it eliminates the garbage stuff.
You saw what happened on Easter Island when they tried this, right?
So he'd do something fun with the money, and you'd waste it?
Well, by deer, I mean neighbors. And by eat apples, I mean have sex.
If they want to watch the deer come into the back yard and eat apples that have fallen onto the ground, they are welcome to.

Right to Work really has nothing to do about being fired, it simply means that employees cannot be forced to pay union dues.
Oh, and pausing at boobs on TV. That's killer.
It was what got me watching Survivor again.

Stories like this make me appreciate the fact that I'm on the back 9 of my career.
Who really buys this shit? It's like you just open your wallet and say "take it all please."
CEO becomes CTO, CTO -> CFO, CFO -> CEO.
Trump Administration: OK, you're good!
That hot librarian knows what you read.
The intriguing experiment took 81 healthy adults and split them into two groups.
I hope they labeled the groups 'positive' and 'negative'.

A lot of what is being said doesn't make any sense.
If the web is an open platform, then anyone is free to make any rules they want. And you are free not to follow them.
I wouldn't do that.
