   The funniest thing about the design is when I click the 'X' on ads to see if they close, but the button keeps moving. I feel like I’m literally chasing it like a mouse, I was laughing straight out :)). A correct depiction of the modern ad system.

      I was reported to Child Protective Services for closing an ad. :(

      That was actually a thing back in the late 90s. There were ad popups that would do that, so the user couldn't close them.

      There were websites that would perpetually change your browser window size when you hovered over the X to close it making you unable to do so
