All you have to do is endure a bit of grey area to the right of your inbox, where the ads would be if you hadn't blocked them. gyrogearloose - 2020-12-21 13:38:00 |

Who's being unethical ? Microsoft for providing you an ad supported 'Free' program - or YOU for blocking the ads which pay for that program and then whinging about the blank space left where the advert was. Doh! nice_lady - 2020-12-21 14:10:00 |
| 14 | I didn't know there is/ was a free version of Outlook, it's always been bundled as part of the Office suite I thought... eaglefan - 2020-12-21 14:39:00 |

You are cheating a company from gaining revenue by providing you an ad supported product that you are subverting with an ad blocker. And THEY are unethical...yeah right, suuuuure THEY are. ffs ronaldo8 - 2020-12-21 14:52:00 |

Wrong Outlook. The OP is referring to the web based version which is really HOTMAIL renamed. nice_lady - 2020-12-21 14:56:00 |
| 17 | Yesterday I got all sorts of dissaprovals from kittykatkin. Apparently I was being mean. https://www.trademe.co.nz/Community/MessageBoard/Messages.as What hypocrite they appear to be. Moaning in this thread like they've been hard done by. nice_lady - 2020-12-21 15:02:00 |

Yes, one could say that , but then one would have just proved oneself to be an idiot. The advertising revenue from the flyers in your letterbox is not used to design, build and provide you with your letterbox. You went out and paid for that, because you weren't so delusional (presumably) to assume that mailboxes incorporated would provide you one for free so long as you agreed to receive, let alone read, flyers. I.E. For some mysterious reason you didn't feel it your right to rip off a letterbox manufacturing company to obtain that which you would have otherwise been compelled to build yourself, you simply paid up. Likewise, the fact that you personally buy or don't buy anything that you see on TV is not even vaguely connected or relevant. The advertisers who ran the ads have paid already on your behalf, because putting your own impeccable and completely uninfluenced shopping tendencies aside (cough, you're soaking in it) advertising has been found to work.

| 33 | No, the grey area on the right remains, and has a message on it saying it looks like you are using an ad blocker. tygertung - 2020-12-23 07:16:00 |
