Can’t wait for ads to be grotesquely injected into any video on big streaming sites. If you don’t want reruns of Cheers to have distracting ads for Rings of Power you better spring for Prime Platinum. Even the heroes at uBlock Origin are going to have a hard time filtering out injected ads on some YouTuber’s bedroom wall.
I’ve been ad-free for long enough at this point that I feel physically assaulted when I see one (at a friend’s house or whatever). It’s insane that we ever thought that was ok, and it’s become worse.
At this point, adblock is a survival measure. Piracy is self-defense. The first presidential candidate who campaigns on legalizing graffiti on billboards and mandating their eventual removal gets my vote. Burn it all.
Ads are against human rights. They manipulate your feelings and force you to make biased choices. They should be banned.
Companies/creatives/collectives need a way to show what they have to offer so it gets out there. Ads are far and away out of control, but their abolishment has it’s own problems (and people will advertise anyways, just stealth like they already are)
I’m the exact same way. Ads are revolting to me and usually make me angry to some extent, and it’s only getting worse. Like they literally cannot get enough. I paid for a Nvidia Shield just so I didn’t have to deal with the Fire sticks bullshit constant eye rape the second you turn on the thing.
