why are we getting hit with all this spam?

Yeah ads are too intrusive - all these pop-ups and full screen b/s....

regarding pop up ads

Most browsers provide an option to turn off pop ups and allow them only for certain sites

for example in Chrome Browser

• Change your default pop-ups & redirects settings
• On your computer, open Chrome Chrome.
• At the top right, click More More and then Settings.
• Under "Privacy and security," click Site settings.
• Click Pop-ups and redirects.
• Choose the option you want as your default setting.

Well, I know it is all related, but maybe sales are low, since there are no new statements/libraries/etc. introduced for last 10 years?
A lot of new periphery had surfaced, and competitors from arduino have good support for it. Even Mikroe does better
So this defines people's choice, where to invest their money....
