Yeah, I guess. But I imagine there's so much volume of ads that they can't all go through human review. Maybe it could sneak in undetected and work for a short while, until the first tweet mentioning it goes viral.

It would probably work, until it really works - when it will be stopped.

But if done right, it has the potential to create lots of attention. An add, that wants you to see less ads, that was finally taken down by the big corporations? Very clickbait article stuff - it is just that (almost) all those news networks live on ads so have no incentive to push up this news.

I can put up a "pretend ad" on my two blogs and maybe I can be a bit creative and get it feqtured elsewhere too if someone provides "artwork" and somewhere to point it too.

Anyone else in?

PS: If you do it later, send me a mail (it is in my profile, click my username to see it.)

Not just that, Google are unlikely to serve ads about switching away from Google's browser on Google's ad networks.

There's a reason successful companies like to own the supply chain (or at least as much of it as they can).

you don't have to mention adblockers in the ad. The ad could imply a cleaner browsing experience, faster, and your activities won't be tracked!

yeah, people really trust those sites that offer to install something to improve your browser performance and keep you from being tracked.

I heard a Duck Duck Go ad on the radio over the weekend and I thought it was so odd. But now having read your comment I realize it’s probably one of the most “trusted” ways to advertise privacy software/webapps because it relies on potential new users going to their site whereas online ads would probably (rightly) be looked at with suspicion.

I'm in Denmark, recently there have been Duck Duck Go posters at bus stops in my part of Copenhagen.

well, at least this one ad would be true, and hopefully, those who would otherwise have clicked on that shady "web-accelerator" ad would've instead been saved by this one!

if there was one Nigerian prince who transferred 1 million dollars to a person's account that would set a bad precedent for all the gullible folks out there.

I am not sure, if that would change anything as reality is clearly perceived different with some people.
