Switch to Firefox, duckduckgo, don't use google of at least turn off personalized ads
I don't think they're looking for solutions. I think they're imagining their friend and others in their friend's situation that decide to do something about their drinking problem and find that as a cruel joke they're now inundated with alcohol ads everywhere they go. They're pointing out yet another example of how capitalism without guardrails sucks.
It does go to show the necessity of adblocking software though. It's not just a trivial convenience at the expense of sites' ad-revenue, it's necessary for online safety.
Absolutely
My desktop and laptop both have adblocks on them amongst other things. But I’ve been doing a lot of this research on my iPhone.
Download Wipr or use Firefox Focus. There’s loads of ways to block ads on an iPhone.
Or make a PiHole. I did years ago and I fucking love it. PiHole+Wipr=hella zero ads.
Dam. I didn’t know there was something like Wipr for iPhone. Bought just now. Thanks
I’ve looked into doing a pi-hole actually. Just never got around to grabbing a pi
I have a few small/low power HP machines. I wonder if I could just use that since I already have it on hand.
I just learned about Wipr recently! It does a better job than Firefox Focus at blocking.
I loooove my PiHole. I set it up years ago and haven’t touched it in forever. I should update it today!
If you're still looking for resources (particularly if you are needing non-religious resources) a lot of health systems have outpatient programs and support groups for various substance use disorders, so that would be a good place to look. Depending on how severe the problem is, presenting an open and non-judgemental front regarding medical intervention and medication use can help reduce the stigma of getting chemical help for a chemical problem.
Also add either ublock origin or Ad Nauseam as Firefox extensions
Adguard dns filter for the home network too
