I only have two games on my phone and I paid for both so they have no ads. If I had a game that did that I would immediately uninstall it. I have no interest in adware.

I hate ads because they try to brainwash the viewers and manipulate them to buy stuff they don't need. I find it very cumbersome to decrypt all the subconscious messages in order to compensate and nullify them. So I decided it's better not to watch any ads right from the start.
Of course I understand programmers who want to earn some money giving the marketing people a platform for their vicious stuff. But imho, an app develper who displays ads is also partially responsible for what exactly is displayed and what damage this inflicts to the world. Sorry, guys!

I don't ever tap them and I usually uninstall the game the moment there's ads. I'd gladly pay a couple bucks for a mobile game if the game is good, but ads (or gameplay tuned to strongarm players into spending money) is an immediate indicator of the game not being worth my time.

I thought about how to break that system of ads everywhere and i came to the conclusion that the only way to get rid of it is to click on all of them! That will empty the pockets of the advertisers very quickly and no sales in return. The whole current ad model would collapse within a few days. Alas, can not do it alone, need at least a few thousand to coordinate an #ADATTACK.

I literally put my phone in airplane mode to play games.
Overall, it is very limited b/c if you look up from your phone and your vision is blurred.

I prefer to pay for a game/app than use one filled with annoying ads

I don't get any ads while playing games on my phone. It's an ancient Nokia, no internet, and only game is Snake. I played it in about 2011 for a few minutes.
No "smart"phone, no games, no ads, no problem.

More than once I've considered going back to my first, a Nokia 6150.

Hope you didn't jump through hoops to post that, the net result wasn't worth it.

Good point. Though, I think he scored with that post.

Hmm, hope I wasn't being too forward with the post. I'll have to guard against that, lest he cry foul.

Probably, since a baseball is a dance for the uncouth whilst a bowling ball is your basic soup-orgy.

this json entity system i built
a) worked from the jump
b) happily allowed itself to be extended over and over again
c) even adopted thread safety with very little pain
and now it just occurred to me how to lock whole branches of the graph
easily so i can totally eliminate spurious server requests in the case
of two threads accessing the same uncached data at roughly the same time
and as i said it's easy - uncharacteristic of MT programming.
geez, so what's the catch?
this has been smooth sailing since i started it.
i don't entirely trust that. 
When I was growin' up, I was the smartest kid I knew. Maybe that was just because I didn't know that many kids. All I know is now I feel the opposite.

I would have your cat checked by an exorcist. It may be even more of a witches' familiar than you thought.

Exorcist? Familiars? Just turn off the lamp[^] and they will look for another warm spot to sleep.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.
