when our own intrusive commercialization is exponentially worse than the fictitious alien civilization we invented to represent relentless commercialism
What scares me is how many people actually do it. What this actually means is it's time to deploy the blocking selection tool in the ad blocker and start blocking the popup itself then report the site to the ad blocker.
Or in this case, since it's Ferengi, just open fire.
I say that, as I pull out a singular quarter coin out of my back pocket, and load it into a device, similar to a handgun in its shape. I aim the device in the general direction of their ship and shoot. The coin, almost instantly being accelerated to near-light speeds, pierces their ship and severely damages their oxygen systems, one of the engines and the fuel tank, leaving them effectively stranded in space on a ship that will lose its air soon. Hey, at least they got their revenue, am i right?

Come to think of it, there were surprisingly few adverts in the promenade. Star Fleet make advertising illegal or something? Quarks surely should have had it all over the place.
there is {add} a reason {add} we use {add} add blockers {add} {add} we get {pop-up} that you {add} {pop-up} <activates blocker> pay for it with adds but stop showing so many of them.
