>Digital Ocean advertise in my Twitter feed, but I am already a customer of theirs, otherwise I would be very tempted to click.
Huh. See, I have been using digital ocean as an example of how a good product can overcome terrible advertising, and how what really matters in the VPS market is how much ram/disk you are handing out per dollar you charge.
But then, I'm thinking of their animated ads (Which I see all the time, 'cause apparently google thinks I really want to watch ads produced by my competitors.)
I haven't seen their animated ads, because I adblock all sites by default, but their ad was a textbook case of a simple ad with a straightforward pitch: "VPS, starting from $5 a month" (if I recall correctly).
>I haven't seen their animated ads, because I adblock all sites by default,
wait, i thought this conversation started when I said something like "Engineers don't click on ads" and then you said something like "But I click on ads"
Now it comes out that you use adblock, which does seem to support my thesis in the general case.
