The dark art of ad timing has reached villainous perfection. Those sneaky devs who code their pop-ups to appear precisely when your finger is mid-tap deserve a special place in programmer hell. It's the digital equivalent of moving someone's chair right as they're sitting down—except it generates revenue! The diabolical satisfaction when users accidentally click that banner ad for sketchy weight loss pills instead of the tiny X button is basically the modern equivalent of a cartoon evil laugh. And we all know that "accidental" click is worth like 10x the impression revenue. Pure evil genius wrapped in a few lines of JavaScript.
