minus-squarelud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoMaybe they mean the ads that popup occasionally when starting steam
minus-squarelud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6arrow-down1·1 year agoI have nothing against them personally but they are undoubtedly advertising and are turned on by default.
minus-squaremihnt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4arrow-down1·1 year agoYeah, but hardly aggressive. They only popup when you start steam. If you leave it running, even with the option on, you never see them.
minus-squarelud@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI dunno pushing ads on every boot seems at least a bit aggressive (remember that steam auto starts by default on Windows).
minus-squaremihnt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoBoth still optional. You can easily turn off both boot with OS and the ads it’s serving. Aggressive to me is non-optional, in-your-face type crap.

Which aggressive ads?
