In a recent turn of events, the legacy media has been accused of confusing online audiences by offering a “helpful” tutorial on how to remove ad blockers. What was meant to be a gesture of goodwill has left many scratching their heads, wondering if they fell for an elaborate prank.
Under the guise of offering a helpful tutorial, media organizations have launched a series of confusing and convoluted guides, leaving readers scratching their heads and pondering the true motives behind this sudden wave of digital guidance. The perplexing tutorial, titled “The Ultimate Guide to a Better Online Experience,” was released by a consortium of major news organizations.
The tutorials, which range from overly complex flowcharts to nonsensical video demonstrations, claim to assist users in understanding the importance of allowing ads to populate their screens. “We just want to educate our readers on the vital role advertisements play in supporting quality journalism.”
The tutorial began with a cheerful narrator saying, “We understand that you want the best online experience possible, and we’re here to help!” Viewers were then taken on a step-by-step journey on how to disable their ad-blockers, complete with screenshots and detailed instructions.
Viewers who followed the guide found themselves bombarded with an influx of pop-up ads, autoplay videos, and banner ads that seemingly covered every square inch of their screens.
