At this point I’m more angry at article writers that don’t include screenshots of the things they’re writing articles about than I am at the issues they’re writing about.
A decent amount of the time once the issue is in a bit of context, my reaction is vastly different than what the writer was trying to get me to feel.
I wish there was a way to easily mark or denote articles written by certain authors when loading a page (especially across sites since many of these people write for multiple places) so I don’t waste my time reading things from people I’ve found to have irresponsible or questionable reporting.
I was fully expecting this to be some blown-out-of-proportion nonsense, like a “Sign up” button next to a switch or slider in the settings menu for something that would pertain to Game Pass. Nope, it’s a full block of the window dedicated just to an ad, not pertinent to any surrounding settings. Hella egregious.
Since it’s not included in the article, but it is in a linked one, here’s the ad:
(Hope it embeds)
Thank you.

I’ve literally never seen ads in my copy of Windows 11 ever.
O&O Shut Up 10 is extremely effective at putting a stop to this bullshit.

Ahh that’s the secret sauce, thanks!

Even if it was just a “small thing”, how many “small things” that are all individually excusable has Microsoft added now? When would it be too much?
