I discovered Swoopo, as many people do, through an online ad plugging its latest deal, a fancy desktop computer at more than 90 percent off

See here! This is the problem with ads. You see ads, you click it, and you regret it. This author would be better off without ever having seen the ad.

Unless you like to enjoy newspapers, television, free content sites, Spotify, or the like, of course.
