Never realized anything was happening as I was on Firefox, until I saw ads as my wife was browsing youtube despite installing ublock for her years ago.

My wife was pissed when I installed an adblocker for her - turns out she likes the ads.

There was a podcast I was listening to this week, and they were discussing the purpose of marketing emails, and they came to the conclusion that they're for women who actually open all of them lol. It was half sarcasm and pretty funny, not trying to by misogynist or something

I recently saw my GF's inbox, it's full of marketing emails, and when I told her she can unsubscribe or block them, she said she likes them as well.

Yes, they do open them all with so much eagerness it makes me wonder how they are able to manage so many emails. But eagerness and window shopping is their calling.
