fuck you duo


Edit: I thought it would be more obvious. I'm editing this so an apparent ad won't appear in anyone else's feed but for posterity here is my original linked gif (with the game name now edited out):

What in the epilepsie am I even looking at?

[–] slothrop@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I'm mildly infuriated not knowing what's mildly infuriating, so maybe an upvote and a downvote? Or 2 upvotes for 2 infuriations?

user trying to skip add but nothing is happening, you can see them pressing the button on the top right repeatedly

*ad

"Ad" is an abbreviation of advertisement.

"Add" is an abbreviation of addition.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 1 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago)

cool, I'll ad that to my list.

[–] Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Ahh! I was looking elsewhere for something to happen.

[–] dumbass@piefed.social 2 points 2 days ago

Yeah I thought they ha poste the wrong thing or those shitty ads had come back

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (5 children)

wow ok, I thought the taps on the broken x button would have spoken for itself

Edit: or was it that "fuck you" too extreme for a mild community? Honestly curious.

You got baited into spreading an ad by bad UI.

[–] you_are_dust@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

It's not apparent at all what is going on. I know this is an ad because I've seen this ad before. My first thought was I thought you were were just mad that you got an ad. It probably looped 4 times before I came to the comments for clarification.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 8 points 2 days ago (2 children)

The whole post is vague and bad. You have to open it to see what you are talking about. So everyone scrolling by is downvoting you.

[–] dingus@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I clicked on the post instead of scrolling by and I am still incredibly confused.

What's the relation of this gif in your post to the static photo? It's this an ad in the Duolingo app or something? It's hard to make the connection to that. And this part of the gif is small and in the corner. All you need next time is a bit more of a description!

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I forget that people browse full card-like posts. For me you have to open any post.

Here's what I should have posted:

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 1 points 1 day ago

And maybe put on the title that you cant skip the ad. Then in the body call duolingo stupid 👍 i knew what it was cause sometimes when I'm bored and one of those gets through my pihole I'll play it like I'm a five year old.

[–] tyrant@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Yeah I don't see it. I'm assuming Duolingo messed up your game but it's not obvious?

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The x button of the ad was broken.

[–] k0e3@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's a fast forward button though.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 1 points 13 hours ago

Oh shit you're right lol. That's embarrassing. But for these ads it usually acts as a skip button and once it's visible it's supposed to be active.

[–] RodgeGrabTheCat@sh.itjust.works 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I always downvote gifs that repeat, they are so annoying.

Bro you gotta wait till the end it’s a total mindfuck
