Re: shady business practices...
The companies don't care if you close the popups. The point is to distract you enough with a barrage of the same window enough that it gets into your subconscious.
It's essentially blanketing you with fifty advertisements in the hopes that at least one gets through to you. Those odds are why the companies continue to pay for pop-ups and web advertisement. It isn't that people are paying attention - it's the possibility that people could pay attention.

I dont understand why anyone gives any credence to what these turds like 180 Solutions say. It is their business model to be scumbags and do this kind of stuff, plain and simple, yet, every time one of them announces "see? we're reforming, please believe us", it's plastered all over the internet like it was gods truth to be believed at face value.
Then, a few months later, a thread like this appears sadly proclaiming that they APPEAR to have lied to us all, sniffle. HOW could they DO that to us?
Now, lets all post the endless speculation as to why they might lie (money) and why everyone thinks they are scumbags, what popup ads really are and.... |

Obviously it is paying off, otherwise they wouldn't keep paying for advertising. Trust me, people are clicking it. |
