Meanwhile, google updated its maps again. Every time it updates maps they make the interface worse

I'm with you there, Google Maps used to be quite easy to use, now I feel like I have to relearn the interface almost every time I use it. Shameful.

Like youtube ads... has anyone ever watched one?

I have watched YouTube ads before, if they pique my interest in the first few seconds. I've found that the ones that give you the option of skipping them after 5 seconds are sometimes interesting, but the ones you can't skip almost never are, and I mute those. But I generally hate ads on the Internet and will do what I can to avoid them, if possible.

Or spam, has anyone been stupid enough to buy what they sell?

The obvious answer to that one is yes, since if spam didn't work the spammers would quit doing it. Check out a book called "Spam Kings: The Real Story Behind the High-Rolling Hucksters Pushing Porn, Pills, and @*#?% Enlargements." It's a very interesting read about the type of scummy people who spam for a living, at least as it existed 10 years ago when the book was written. I'm sure the same types of characters still do it today.
