minus-square@ludlinkEnglish5•7 months agoMaybe they mean the ads that popup occasionally when starting steam
minus-square@ludlinkEnglish6•7 months agoI have nothing against them personally but they are undoubtedly advertising and are turned on by default.
minus-square@mihnt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish3•7 months 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-square@ludlinkEnglish2•7 months agoI dunno pushing ads on every boot seems at least a bit aggressive (remember that steam auto starts by default on Windows).
minus-square@mihnt@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglish2•7 months 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.

Those can be turned off.
