Those fake download buttons go way back - they were around in the late 90s. In a quarter century the ad industry hasn’t managed to block this easy to detect scam. I mean - how hard can it be to not allow ads that are just a big button with “download” on them? Therefore I never will deactivate my adblocker. Fuck them.
To be fair, there are few select sites which have tighter advertising control.
(Something Firefox based) + Ublock origin
Blocks ads, surveillance, scams and malware
It’s always the smallest one
It’s even worse when you’re experienced enough to tell the real one
We’ve been indoctrinated haha
We all know it’s actually the hyperlinked text, the buttons are a lie
I guess it’s the top one? Kinda takes a while to take a guess, been a while i seen such mess.
I went for all three and got many more downloads in the background. That was the right choice.
This is the new captcha: only an AI would know which is the real download button.
I can tell you never pirated anything. It’s always the smallest most boring HTML 1 looking button that is hiding out of the way not being flashy.
What a strangely hostile response to an obvious joke
Sarcasm and text failed me again.

So don’t leave us hanging… which is the real download?
