    You know when your reading webnovel Raws in aggregator sites there are ‘extreme graphics’ as Ads.

    I was reading while eating chips. Subconsciously while talking tilted my tablet.

    I noticed my family looking at me strange and as you guessed it, I internally exclaimed: F*ck!

    I did not notice it. Usually I’m very careful but this time I was just absent minded. So I just pretended nothing happened him Lol. You know how annoying those ads or pop-ups can be right

    Has such a easily misunderstood situation happen to you before?

    I just don't use electronics near my family. And if someone goes into my room, no matter what is currently on my screen, go to youtube front page.

    Nope, this was a none issue when I was younger. The computers were in the computer room. Tablets were not a thing

    Hahaha a bigger problem is when some explicit scene randomly pops up in the middle of an episode of anime I'm watching during dinner with everyone else there >.>;;

    Nope, I use ad blocker. The sites usually don't have an ad blocker's blocker. If it has I would just move on to the next site. Riskiest thing I've ever done was watch dxd across from my mom XD.

    No, ads never gave me that problem, because I take all possible scenarios into account.

    You might think I'm lying. actually, when I was small my father looked up the browser history of my home PC and found something that should not be found, they told me about things about puberty that day when I came back from school, It was torture, those 3 mins was an eternity for me. Then onward I take all possible things into account when doing anything into account.

    I don't give my personal lap and phone to anyone and when I share my laptop with anyone I use an application for taking screenshots every 30 sec, and no one does funny things or check other people stuff if they know the owner will watching it. I also have an app to erase everything on my PC and phone like a kill switch.

    If you think I'm paranoid then YES I'm. If you experience what I experienced then you will do the same.





    Also here's an interesting article: "Man complains about ''vulgar'' ads on IRCTC app; their reply leaves Twitter in splits"

    When I was younger, we only had one desktop computer and it was in the living room.

    It was a battle day in and day out for my 12 year old self to watch fairy tail without being scared my dad was gonna catch me. Even the regular scenes… could have been questioned. :sweating_profusely:

    Yees! It's so embarrassing and annoying even if I'm alone. Ad blockers can't even block some of them which made it more annoying.

    I use Brave browser so no ads.

    However, if I do read some snu stuff, I always look behind me every 3 minutes.
