I remember long ago watching a Sci-Fi movie where they interspersed subliminal adverts into streaming media.
They were called "blip-verts" - just an odd frame or two in the stream.
Your brain "sees" it but doesn't actually "read" it.
It relies on our brains having photographic memories (we all have it, it's the recall that fails).
Apparently, it's supposed to be very effective and takes a fraction of a second.

Perhaps they are trying something similar on CS?
It wouldn't surprise me.

Back in the 60s and 70s, movie theaters and drive-in theaters would insert buckets of popcorn and other snacks into the frames of the movie. Too fast for your conscious mind to see it but enough for the subconscious mind to make you hungry. Not sure if they ever proved it actually worked. I think it was finally outlawed around 1979 in the US.

You can pretend you don't see it but we know better. Indoctrination camps are not in my future. Also my mindset is in a good place. Right where it needs to be.

I think it was the late '50s the original test was supposed to have taken place, but it later emerged that the individual who claimed to have done so hadn't, and was lying about the results he claimed. Whether it was actually done no effect off the back of invented research, I don't know.

There's been some real research into that since, then? Cool. Didn't know that.

Do you mean while browsing collarspace? Or just in general?

That's weird, I never seen it.

And I actually have a program that flashes subliminal messages on my PC while I'm on it.

Subliminal messages of my choice to myself, I wrote them, to help me with some life goals I want to achieve. Need to control the subconscious brain ya know.

I only get the big black X on my phone while browsing the site via the mobile interface. My home PC is set up to block all scripts and ads, so while it may be there I do not see it from my PC.

Outside work with job security. I love it!
Far better than sharing a bunk with bubba in "Walls Unit" for stocking up nitrates/ diesel to "grow alfalfa on a compound in West Texas!" I'll send you cigarettes.
