Ads work because you see them constantly at the moments you're not focused, like opening a new tab. This replaces your new tab page (on Chrome or Arc) with your goals and deadlines, using advertising psychology to subtly direct you towards the version of yourself you'd like to be.

Ah this is a good point; you've caught my mistake - I only saw "online" and "poll".

Edit: I am a poor survey respondent to non-opt-in polls, and do not opt-in to polls where possible.

--> Claude informs me ("why are there bogus respondents to polls you have to opt-into anyway?") that most are there because surveys pay a little money; so it's botted too.

How about just not doing online opt-in polls

Nobody enjoys that experience; I personally am a "bogus" respondent.

>> Tech is so boring.

Tech is objectively interesting.

>> Tech is a rather minor part of the world of knowledge.

I disagree:

(1) It's knowledge with the meta-effect of enabling acquisition of more knowledge.

(2) The thing we do, which catapulted us over all other species, our defining hyper-adaptive trait, is that we are tool-making; that we have technology.
