I Confess and Apologize, the really annoying ads – partially my fault.
You know those really annoying popup messages you get on your phone when you're browsing? They aren't easy to ignore like popups on your desktop. They are really, get in your face, make it hard to see the site you wanted to see, annoying. Well, I confess. I helped make those and I'm really sorry.
It was maybe two years ago and someone came to me with a new gimmick (That's really all of AdTech summarized in one word: Gimmick ). It wasn't the first time. I'd done a lot of work building affiliate marketing programs and ad servers. It was, however, possibly the most evil thing I have ever done and I apologize.
