What could come of people clicking on the “Report issue” option and sending back tons of false reports claiming that they have gotten the pop-up message despite not using an ad-blocker?
It's Google... Chances are an automated system would go "nope it's legit, buzz off"
i gave feedback that basically said "fuck you. fuck this. this is exactly how you generate bad will."
It asked me to include a screenshot of the page and highlight areas of the image to draw attention to them, so I sent a screenshot similar to the one in this post and highlighted every use of the word “ads”. I also sardonically lauded false praise of the site and its advertisements in the written reply.
Maybe those Google accounts would get banned? Probably not worth it.
