        Lol, it’s more to show a point. Most engineers and programmers are VERY hard to advertise to. We do to much research, so it’s often an ignored group in marketing. Easier to go after other demographics.

          Yeah, I’ve been using the internet since the 90s, and I’ve never clicked a single ad, aside from accidentally clicking one because it moved under my mouse cursor or finger right as I was trying to click something else. I’m very selective in what I buy, and don’t just buy something because I saw an ad. The only advertising that sometimes works on me is an ad for something new at taco bell, pizza hut, etc. Where you’re like huh, that looks pretty good, I’ll have to try one. But any durable goods that aren’t consumable, yeah I’m doing research before I buy it.
