Me @ the tumblr ad algorithm (while banging pots and pans together): MY REPRESENTATIVE AND THE SPEAKER OF MY STATE'S LEGISLATURE ARE SCUM WHO ARE TRYING TO TAKE AWAY PEOPLE'S HEALTH CARE AND WANT TO SCREW OVER POOR PEOPLE WHILE MY STATE HAS A $1.5 BILLION SURPLUS SO IF YOU COULD STOP SHOWING ME ADS ASKING ME TO THANK THEM THAT'D BE GREAT Alternatively, I'm willing to accept ads that specify what I should be thanking them for. For example: "Click here to thank Kurt Daudt for justifying your prejudice against pasty, middle aged white guys in bad suits. A prejudice which might otherwise seem irrational". See, I can accept that. That's literally the only worthwhile thing he's ever done for me. I'm still not going to click on the ad, cuz fuck him. But it's still better than what I'm getting now. Another example: "Click here to thank Tom Emmer for voting for Trumpcare and basically painting himself as a Disney villain, making convincing people to vote against him easier than it's ever been". Again, that's the only useful (not good, he's still fucking over millions of people, but useful) thing he's done.
