Why wouldn’t the comma2 have an ad? It’s a commercial product.
No idea why it was marched to me, but it worked.
I'm surprised that comma2 would assume anyone interested in their product wouldn't have ad blockers. Or that anyone would want to context switch to looking into it from Instagram.
I would have assumed ads for comma2 to revolve around sponsored content on various DIY/hacker sites. But I am not a good marketer, nor do I pretend to be (I do recognize it's value and wish I was, but I just don't get it.)
I suppose comma2 doesn't pay for blocked ads. So that is less surprising on reflection.
Do you know why the comma2 was advertised to you?
