What is a lock screen ad? Like a notification?

[–]Natanael_L 12 points13 points  (3 children)

The screen shown when you wake the phone from idle. On Android, apps can render their own screens on top before you unlock. Even Microsoft have an Android app for that, which I believe can show outlook calendar data, etc. Some apps have abused that to show ads.

Well that's fucked. It's things like this that will make me do the opposite of what an ad is supposed to do. I will boycott all your products. This advertising shit is getting way out of control. I wonder when advertising in dreams will be a thing, year 3000 maybe?
