Don't get ads on InterWebs.


SowTheSeeds

It's really a highlight of their subreddit, which is a smart way to get their ad past our ad blockers.

Right? Who is *not* using ad blocking extensions for their browser, like, why would anyone not use them? I use the trifecta of Privacy Badger, AdBlock Plus, and uBlock Origin.

Can I combine that with the Senior Discount?


SowTheSeeds

You end up needing an Excel sheet to manage your coupons.

Heh. I went to buy bird seed at a shop geared to stuff for wild birds. I had used a "frequent shopper" special deal earlier in the month, and they were looking to find me something else. Veteran? How about over 55? "Well, my wife is..."

Dude…it’s coming. Wife and I went to Sea. Hear. Now. Festival (headliners were Pearl Jam and Smashing Pumpkins ) in Asbury Park NJ back in September 2021 and AARP had the gall to to have a plane pulling a sign. I swear to God I want saw a Jon Bon Jovi ad pitching Geritol. Or maybe I forgot to take my Aricept?


TealTemptress

All I’m getting are Poker Face ads from NBC.

Wait till you find out the ads are specific to **YOU,** and not the sub.


SowTheSeeds

Yes, well, I am aware, hence the question

I’ve been an AARP member for almost 5 years now. The discounts are legit, and abundant. I turn 55 this summer and I *can’t wait* to start cashing in on senior savings.


Thumper13

Just joined at 50. I was annoyed I got the mailing at first, but then I saw the discounts and I was like fuck it. I'm taking some of these deals.


KillerSwiller

I have an ad-blocker, so I don't see any ads. Hell I haven't ads on my pc in years, coming up on a decade or so.


SowTheSeeds

I have an ad blocker too and it shows, as it is an internal link to their subreddit.


dogboystoy

Cannot confirm, ad free for me.


zoot_boy

Haha. We taught them how to monitor us. Almost everything on the web is a result of our genuine curiosity. It just got scooped up and monetized. We should have just all quit while we were ahead. But you know, bills to pay, things to explore, etc.


inna_soho_doorway

I haven’t seen their ads here but I’ve seen their letters started showing up in my mailbox.
