Is every ad deceitful? I thought there were some legal requirements/liability for TV and radio ads (plus I do my best to avoid them all). No such thing online, of course, so uBlock blocks them all for me.
Due to the tips and tricks I provided in this thread, I haven’t heard from any Nigerian princes in a really, really long time. I hope they’re doing well.
But you see, I was paying attention when I signed up and I was paying attention to all the places that tell me exactly when my membership would renew. So my expectation is a specific date. Yet when they tell me that my benefits would end immediately, they make me question my expectations. The fact that they remain active is not a pleasant surprise, it is the expected outcome. The deceit occurs in the middle, when they make me think I’m gonna lose my benefits sooner than expected, making me not want to cancel until the last moment.
