About Ads

I only recently learned that 'ad' means advertisement. It came up on an English learning app. To be clear, I don't like ads. But if there's a bonus like 'XX reward' for watching an ad, I'll watch it sometimes. If watching an ad means 'XX for free,' I'll watch it. 'Watch an ad for one free episode' is a good example. I'm basically a non-spender (free-to-play). So I think it's unavoidable to watch ads. It's natural to listen to tons of music for free on Spoti〇〇, and listen to tons of ads. However, there's a way ads are presented that I don't like. Sudden pop-up ads. The ones that pop up and you have to watch for at least 15 seconds before you can proceed. I know it's unavoidable because it's a free game. I'll watch ads to see hints or answers. I can ignore ads that end in 2 seconds or appear when you switch apps. I understand ads that appear when you finish a stage and enter the next one. I also understand ads that appear when you press 'continue'. I know ads are important, but it's a matter of preference. Pop-up ads that appear at weird times. Pop-up ads when you move to the next stage, even with few problems. If I think the frequency is too high, I'll say goodbye to that game. So, I decided to write about how ads are displayed as a preliminary report. I'll write down my thoughts.
