Look at it! What is that? It looks kind of like a cross section of a human, kind of, except the eyes are pools of blackened fire and the brain is sending electrical pulses out to... are those Jupiters? Why? Why??? This is absolute nightmare shit lol

    The first thing I do on a fresh install of firefox is disable pocket.

    I've never allowed pocket to be enabled long enough to even see what it looks like, lol.

    Well, it's advertising, so they will systematically and programmatically identify whatever imagery will gain your attention (which this has)

        I don't know how Firefox does it for Pocket, but you're overcomplicating it.

        Just have to track what stays on your screen longer. They could also account for where your attention likely is on the visible screen based off what, if anything, you are interacting with (menus etc).

        If you scroll past something in a second, but leave something else on your screen roughly in the middle without scrolling past it or moving to a menu for 3 seconds then it's pretty obvious which caught your attention.

    TIL there are folks who don't immediately turn pocket off on a fresh install...

    Anyway, yeah, that pic is pretty weird
