Sentry's Advertising Identity Crisis
OH MY GOD, the DESPERATION is REAL! 💀 Sentry's ad is basically BEGGING you not to click their own advertisement! They're literally saying "Don't click this. Help us lower our CPC." For the uninitiated, CPC stands for Cost-Per-Click, which means they're paying money EVERY TIME someone clicks their ad. So they've created this bizarre paradox where they're advertising... but asking you NOT to engage with their advertising?! The marketing team is clearly having an existential crisis! It's like putting up a billboard that says "Please don't look at this billboard, we're trying to save on eyeball fees!" Whoever approved this strategy deserves either to be fired or promoted to CEO immediately - there is NO in-between!

Don't Be Evil They Said
Remember when search engines actually searched instead of showing you 47 ads, 12 shopping suggestions, and 3 AI-generated blog posts before your actual results? The irony of "technological improvements" is that they've optimized for everything except what users want. Modern search algorithms have reached peak efficiency—at selling you stuff you didn't ask for. It's like asking your GPS for directions and getting a 2-minute unskippable lecture about nearby restaurants before it tells you to turn right. The "Don't Be Evil" mantra aged about as well as Internet Explorer 6 running on Windows ME.
