I get ads for secret solar panel information that the 'Electric Companies don't want me to know about'. Concern-troll ads, that feel like psychological warfare, about every health ailment that I might potentially have. Boomer-bait 'Patriot-Power Pack! Survival food, ammo and eagle coins. Kolon-Klense type product depicting a woman sitting on the porcelain throne complaining that she can't crank a shit. Las but not least. An over-eager Sylvester Stallone excited to show me his one amazing....salt trick?
When I turned my adblock off there for a second I couldn't stop laughing at the absolute crack-potness of their ads. If you like a creator, and they stream, you can dono to them.
I always thought this was the work of domain squatters who run software to see what names are being queried, then they purchase and sit on them. I first heard about this back in 05' , then never heard about it again.
Unless you work at the domain registrar in question, or sit between the user and the TLD's authoritative nameservers, how would you possibly see what domains are being queried?
First thing they need to do is get rid of the 'accept all cookies' pop up that sits in the lower left corner and consumes a quarter of the page. I'm still learning Linux and many of my search results end up there...and I can't tell you how annoying that is.
Install ublock origin and enable one of the filter lists available. I don't remember exactly which one does the cookie notices, you might have to research that. Might be called something like EasyList Cookies.
Not for nothing but... What event DOESN'T feel fake these days? SXSW? Burning Man? DEFCON? It's all corporate and lame. I look around and all I see is lameness. Grifters everywhere.
I never tried it myself, since Scribus is good enough for me...
