Nice. Now I don’t have to worry about the auto repair shop texting my personal number trying to pressure me to take down a review about their shady business practices.

Valve needs to hire this person, my god. Love that they seem to really understand what users do with steam instead of just looking at it from miles away, removing every feature + calling it a redesign.
Steam’s UI has long been the worst part of using Steam for me, to the point that I actively avoid using any steam features I don’t have to. While they’ve made small parts of it prettier over time, figuring out how to do anything you haven’t done before is difficult, there’s clutter all over that makes information like reviews harder to scan, and to top it all off, every single page has a different UI I have to figure out.
I’ve found it actually makes it easier for advertisers to track me - I tried turning it off briefly, expecting completely random, useless ads, but instead saw disturbingly relevant ads, which basically reflected a profile of the sites I visited regularly, for example, ads for products sold by random obscure sites I visit regularly. Not only that, but the ads followed me across sites.
Not entirely sure why that was but my guess is that by simply allowing ads to load, you’re letting ad providers like Facebook/Google collect far more identifying information to improve their confidence that you’ve visited a given site, vs by not loading them all they know is their tracking/ad script was requested. Similarly, by clicking an ad you’re now also visiting an advertiser’s site, loading even more tracking.
For AdNauseum to achieve it’s stated purpose, it would also need to visit random sites to pollute ad providers’ profiles on you.
Google actually does this already with trade-ins, they gave me $300 for an iPhone SE worth $100 on the second hand market.
Sounds risky AF
You’d think, but honestly I’ve still found a helluva large amount of good channels that don’t do this.
