I saw an ad for Grammarly once, maybe a year ago, on YouTube. I was intrigued and clicked on it to learn about it and concluded that it was pretty awesome... until I learned about how it works and NOPE’d out immediately.

Since then, though, they aggressively bid to put ads on my browser. It’s a win-win for me, the ad networks get to feel like they’re delivering highly relevant personalized ads to a potential buyer and I get the peace of mind of not seeing other ads and the feeling of doing a good deed by baiting Grammarly into wasting ad spend. Selling a key logger as a service—- it’s an abomination.
