Adverts are not only intrusive and irritating but they blatantly LIE by saying "Unsold [whatever] being sold almost for free". I see this over and over, cars, furniture, appliances, you name it.
But if you foolishly click on the advert (or just look at the small print underneath it) you find it just takes you to an ordinary "search site" where nothing is "almost free".
And the ones that say "prices for [whatever] would surprise you". No they wouldn't.
