Too many pop-ups

Do you record the adverts during commercial breaks in TV shows and complain about them as well?

Once ads became unskippable, more repetitive, and more irrelevant to me, I ditched those platforms for ones that don’t rely on ads. There are plenty of options out there. There aren’t other platforms for playing SWGOH without pop-ups.

I don’t fault the platforms for relying on ads for revenue. I don’t fault SWGOH for selling pixels for a living. I do fault them for being too lazy to make their pop-ups sophisticated enough to be relevant. It’d be a win for everyone. You’d win because whenever a pop-up appeared, you’d know it had something you could use. CG would win, because they’d stop training their users that pop-ups are a waste of time and to rapidly tap the corner of the screen to dismiss them all without ever reading them.
