Yesterday. For a toothpaste that allegedly lets you brush some "artificial enamel" onto your teeth.
But aside of that, yes, the toothpaste ads have vanished. Or my mental ad blocker already registers all of them and throws them away instead of allowing them to be noticed.
At what point will acceptance be high enough that you'd already raise suspicion by not inviting the trojan horse into your home? And at what point will you pretty much become a social pariah if you don't?
We already see something like this happen with Facebook. Quite a few companies already don't really have their own homepages anymore. You want to deal with them, you have questions, you have complaints? Better have a Facebook account or you won't. Any promotion will also only happen with Facebook, and by now you also already have webpages that require you to have an account there to log in to them because they want to avoid the hassle of having to deal with their own user database.
And of course if most people you know use Facebook to organize events, guess what you'll have to have to be invited, because it's so comfortable and hassle free to create a group and just invite all the people on the list?
It reminds me more and more of the former East Bloc. A lot of things were not outright outlawed or mandated, but failing to do what The Party wanted usually resulted in you miraculously being sidelined.
Faster? With 99 billion ad-flash-whatnot bullshit loading before the content I came for gets loaded? Are you trying to be funny?
Which browser loads less bullshit is the question I'd care about. Which browser discards tracking cookies by default and protects my privacy better is the question I care about. But I have the suspicion NEITHER of those two will do EITHER of those things.

Nobody gives a shit about his skin color. He's an asshole, whether his skin is black, white, brown or red-purple polka dotted doesn't matter at all.
Where I come from, rabid dogs are being shot.
And for the first time it will be the leftists that beat up the brown man with the alt-right trying to defend him.
Odd how you curiously omit that Obama made him part of the commission but Trump made him head.
Lying by omission is still lying.
Keep shooting the puppets. At some point, nobody wants to be the next puppet anymore.
People learn from negative reinforcement.
Ads are bad for your teeth?
Dude, you're not supposed to chew them, they want you to swallow that shit.

Advertising to raise awareness to a product's existence is fine. But do you really think anyone still doesn't know what detergents there are?
Why? It's a waste basket and that way everyone knows that it is.
Wait, wait, what else can you do with them?
If they still may, yes, they will.

I usually order doggy treats and condoms.
The gift that keeps on giving, next time they get their "recommended items" and "people who bought this also bought" list.
"That doesn't sound like something I'd buy, now does it?"
"Buy now" accepted.
Take a screenshot of that LinkedIn posting. I'm pretty sure you can use it for blackmail in a few for a pretty penny.
My fetishes are none of your business!
In unrelated news, Alexa, what neoprene suits can you recommend. I ... umm... I have a diving trip planned.
"Alexa, do what I say and shut the fuck up"
(and yes, I know I go to feminist hell for that one)
Just because you're paying doesn't mean you're a customer. Especially if someone else is paying more.
For reference, see politics.
Give me one reason to give them more than a bucket of water when they're being flooded.
The motto is, if you can't win, change the rules.
Has been for decades.

Enjoyment. Entertainment. And most of all, pointing from my hilltop at people trying to escape the floods and saying "Told ya."
Just like in Russia. When the KGB did something like that, a man named Eugene Kaspersky saw this as a good moment to start hiring more people...
Old Joke:
"But Timmy, why did you say your dad is working as a male stripper?"
"Because it's less embarrassing than admitting he's working at the NSA".
If we have a nuclear war, it's more likely you find a functioning male than a functioning lab.
Ok, here it goes:
The North Korean committee to produce butter from shit has reached the halfway point. The taste is still off, but it already spreads pretty well.
