No, this isn't a rant on a pointless update of a wattpad book. That said, I'm going to start a story.

Okay, so this morning, I log onto my computer and into Skype; it says, at the homepage, 'please download the latest version because we will sign you out and blahblahblah'. So, of course, I derp my way over to their website, download the latest version, and sign back in, wondering what new features this improved version of Skype could have to offer-

-and see a giant advertisement smeared across the top of my screen.

Why did you make this oh-so-important update if all you were going to do with it was SHOVE AN ADVERTISEMENT IN MY FACE? I don't want one of those! It isn't improving my SKype experience in any way, shape, or form. In fact, it's making it worse, because half my screen is covered by this piece of crap! Think, morons who invented Skype; how is ANYBODY who uses Skype going to be happy about this? They'll probably quit and try and find an advertisement-free thing they can use! 

Now, if the advertisements were there because Skype was getting paid to have them- like for other software- it would be slightly more acceptable. But nope! Skype has gone and double-dipped for the ultimate slap in the face; they're advertising SKYPE. IN THE SKYPE INTERFACE.

Like, dat's cool 'n all, but you know I ALREADY HAVE THE PRODUCT YOU'RE ADVERTISING, RIGHT?

It isn't just Skype that does stuff like this, either. The other day I got some 'amazingly important' update for one of my games, and all it did was throw in plug-ins for other games. Like, seriously? I came to play the game, not have three-quarters of my beautiful little town covered in billboards advertising some dumb game that people can't get to sell and have to instead invade other games with. 

Can you imagine if that happened with one of the biggest games of all time? Picture this, okay. There has just been a leak for a new Assassin's Creed; the Important Huge Uber Mega Update version, where they've added one super important update into the first game ever launched out. Excited, the fans crowd the store, trample the poor manager, fight tooth and nail for their own copy. Our hero- Madison- gets her own copy after beating an old lady with a fish. She really wanted to play this awesome game. So she pays the clerk, doesn't even take the change because she's so excited, and literally runs home. Then she sits down, plugs the game into her Xbox, waits for it to load. She starts the game, and the first thing she sees is-

-a giant billboard for a game called 'Dora the Explorer: Madame Fartranger'.

Madison then proceeds to spend the next half hour running around the game, which is exactly like the original version but with gigantic advertisements everywhere. What's worse is that there are even advertisements for 'Assassin's Creed, Important Huge Uber Mega Update Version', the game she's already playing. Enraged, she punches a hole in the screen, her fist growing bigger and her entire body turning green, and she roars in anger, as her body transforms into the She-Hulk-

-sorry, that was a little off topic. But still, just think of that. That's basically what these pointless updates do. And now I have an advertisement for Skype staring me in the face on my Skype homescreen. Get your stuff together, Skype. I want an update that removes this self-insert. And doesn't advertise Assassin's Creed, IHUMU.
