Is this some sort of ad blocker work around?

It's a tool for maximizing ad revenue

All I could think of when reading this was “I DiDNA hit her, I DiDNA- Oh hi Mark”

@mr_pigeonwizard so I'm not alone in seeing this. I know you know I know you know I can read what it says it does, but you know I know you know we both know this tells us nothing about what it actually does. So what is it doing and why is it there? Those are side questions though, for are real quest lies with vanquishing it.

@poisin_kat ...why? That makes me think you think I'm like... a violent person or something :/

....and why is it coming from the British Indian Ocean territory? That's pretty ominous.

You're definitely not alone seing it, and apart from ad revenue, it's also an analytics tool

Same

I've been getting it also, I actually installed two more adblockers because of it. I've also avoided the site since it started showing up.

its basically just an "ai machine learning" thing that tracks what gets clicked, when it gets clicked, whats around it when it gets clicked, etc and uses all the data from all the clicks to figure out the best placement, variety, quantity, etc for ads.

I think it went invisible now. There's a little invisible bar, but it can't be clicked on.

Yup

So that's like... ominous squared. Like it's learning, like it said it would.

Yup
