Slippery slope. I used to think of Ubiquiti as prosumer. Now it's definitely not.
Then, the software that was written to manage a product that I paid for shoves a call-to-action that takes a considerable amount of the page to suggest I buy it. And I can’t dismiss or close it.
The difference with ads on the web is that I paid for the privilege of being served this garbage. In my mind, this is much worse.
No. Somewhere a marketer queried a database using a simple marketing automation tool to decide which of a variety of banners to show you.
