    I remember back in the day we had a popup blocker. Now we are bombarded by popups, but inside the website instead of new windows. The most annoying part is the times delay on them. When the page is loaded, you want to click on a link, but a fraction of a second before you click a promotion pops up and you click on that. Or the Google ads when searching. Click result… Oh no, the ads loaded in, I clicked on an ad instead. Fuck you.

    The amount of effort you need to put in to get the info you want. So annoying! They try so hard to keep you on their website as well. When I want to know a shortcut in excel:

    • search for the shortcut
    • missclick an ad
    • try again
    • find page with info
    • close cookies
    • close promotion
    • need to login for info, go back to Google and try again
    • close cookies
    • close promotion
    • start reading…
    • info about what excel is used for
    • history of excel
    • story about the many shortcuts excel has
    • close popup for newsletter
    • story about different key on keaybord for windows and Apple
    • story about why you would need this action you’re searching for
    • buildup to explanation what the actual shortcut is
    • close promotion
    • close another newsletter pupup
    • finally the shortcut you’re searching for. FFS
