Rick Roll is only effective on people using ad blockers
Given that ad block users are usually tech savvy and have been around the net a while: We already know the URL and can detect Rick Rolls before clicking on shit.
I have an ad blocker and I tend to recognise the link, but even when I do, I ~choose to click on it for the fun of it.😌
Yeah if I get a hunch that the link I'm clicking is a Rick roll, I'm disappointed if it's not
I mean, the song is a banger
Yup I will usually happily walk into a rick roll. I just enjoy the music. lol
Idc what anyone says... It's a good song
I wrote a tamper monkey script to detect rick rolls lol
Sad reality indeed that to punk an online user with this classic requires for the said user to be tech savvy
Wrong! I blocked the link with my adblock.
Lazy, I just recognize the url from getting rick rolled so much.
XcQ
XcQ, link stays blue
A friend of mine helped me set up a Star Trek automation where the lights turn on and a Star Trek LCARS video plays on my TV.
Went to demo it only to discover he’d changed the link to a rickroll. I love that trolling bastard
lmao that's a good one
Eh, too much work.
XcQ, no thank you!
