Windows 11 has ADS NOW

microsoft is adding ads to windows 11
oh hello there.

[festerma]

the worst part is that this isnt in the eu versions of windows 11, they know they wouldnt get away with it here

[beta_windows]

Now im going to get pop ups saying there are hot cpu's in my area

[ChompDude]

"This PC doesn't currently meet the minimum system requirements to run Windows 11."

Feels SO good man.

[Chisszaru]

And i suddenly don't want Windows 11. The fact that they force ads upon us everywhere these days are quite infuriating to say the least. If i wanted ads, i would've asked for it, and i don't ask for ads. And i'm not paying for Youtube Premium, because that's a trashy way to earn money, and they should know better than to behave like dictators when they do it

[kirbles]

Tom Scott literally made a video about how youtubers have to disclose ads and no one else does. He doesn’t explain why that is, he calls it out and explains why it's stupid.

You can turn it off and then an update later will absolutely 100% turn them back on 'accidentally'
Microsoft has been malicious for a long ass time

[zephaniah_-]

There now ad's on Roku, Ad's on Laptop, Ad's Here, Ad's There.

Just Like : Idiocracy ! ! ! ! !

[TheCyborgLord]

If they're going to put ads on our computers then they should be paying us for the ad space.

Windows 10: "You couldn't live with your own failure. Where did that bring you? Back to me."

[JetSetDman]

they do this already and have for ages. One of the baked-in suggestion messages on the windows 10 lock screen is an ad for candy crush. it appears even if you're not connected to the internet.

You must watch a 15 second ad to open Firefox
Switch to edge to reduce this time down to 5 seconds!

I came here to laugh at windows 11 users.

Now I'm actually sorry for everyone that downgraded from Win 10 (to 11 i mean).

...I use arch, btw

[ThatSpecificIndividual]

I would absolutely use Linux if most gaming software actually works on there.

[mohammadmehmood]

They're really gonna put ads in everything, aren't they?

[Freda_Productions]

"you can turn it off in settings"

yeah... i dont see that aging very well...

Christ, these days it's like no matter how much you pay on all these services, and no matter how much you try to avoid them, they always STILL try to find ways to advertise to you. You're never safe from them. It could be a freakin' $100/month subscription for a service and the company behind it would still find a way to serve you ads.

I'm really annoyed with YouTube too because almost everyone has sponsorships now. It's just another advertisement. I get that YTers need an income, but for Christ's sake an ad is still an ad. YouTube every year makes creators earn less and less and make monetization guidelines stricter and stricter still. Some creators still have millions of subscribers and make tons of money from YT memberships, Patreons, merch stores, and people thanking them in the comments with money, yet that's not enough sometimes and they want me to subscribe to a shady sponsorship.

What makes this even more annoying is that since everyone's so desperate for money now, nobody ever researches stuff. 90% of sponsors are shady and trashy. Nobody ever researches who they're sponsoring. BetterHelp, Enlisted, War Thunder, Hello Fresh, Raid Shadow Legends, Magic Spoon, you name it. Or how about Established Titles? I knew right from the beginning that that's not how land ownership works, yet everyone was so quick to jump on the bandwagon.

Its always Funny to me when people say : "its just beta, It doesn't mean it will be there on release".As if the fact alone that a feature made it up until Beta isn't enough reason to be enraged.
Imagine yourself your smart watch had a beta version with a feature to make the watch explode, No reason why, Its just a BETA TO TEST THINGS, wouldn't that be a reason enough to do some harm to the company making the watch ? Yes its never going to happen, except when horse armor came along, NOONE suspected Its going to be the standard in 10 years, except me and other individuals who warned everyone. So hey its a beta ? Stone them for THAT beta.

"Man, why do people use Linux? Windows 11 is so much better!"
Windows 11:

[Micha-Hil]

The second Linux gets good compatibility with Windows applications I'm making the switch
