minus-squaremihnt@lemmy.worlddeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·3 years agoWhich aggressive ads?
minus-squarelud@lemm.eedeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·3 years agoMaybe they mean the ads that popup occasionally when starting steam
minus-squaremihnt@lemmy.worlddeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 years agoThose can be turned off.
minus-squarelud@lemm.eedeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up7arrow-down1·3 years agoI have nothing against them personally but they are undoubtedly advertising and are turned on by default.
minus-squaremihnt@lemmy.worlddeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·3 years agoYeah, but hardly aggressive. They only popup when you start steam. If you leave it running, even with the option on, you never see them.
minus-squarelud@lemm.eedeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 years agoI dunno pushing ads on every boot seems at least a bit aggressive (remember that steam auto starts by default on Windows).
minus-squaremihnt@lemmy.worlddeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 years agoBoth still optional. You can easily turn off both boot with OS and the ads it’s serving. Aggressive to me is non-optional, in-your-face type crap.
minus-squarelud@lemm.eedeleted by creatorlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 years agoFor me, aggressive doesn’t necessarily have to mean non-optional.

For me, aggressive doesn’t necessarily have to mean non-optional.
