I hate ads.

That's it. That's all I wanted to say. Just loathe them with a burning passion. More than i do anything else in my day to day life. I feel an urge to scream it into the world every single day just how much i despise ads and whoever invented them.

I hate ads.

I can't escape them. I feel like i'm trapped in a sick psychological torture experiment. Can't even go outside for a walk without seeing them everywhere. This is not how human beings should live.

I hate ads.

Do the people who make ads not feel any shame for what they are doing? Stop trying to sell me your shit, i don't want it! I don't want to give you my money, stop trying to take it away from me!

Omg this. I seriously worked with a dude that was a like, a hyper cuck to capitalism. He would sit there and watch YouTube ads and when I'd ask him why he didn't use adblock or use an app (this was at the height of ease in using YouTube Vanced) he just goes, "I like to watch ads because I want to support my content creators. "

I was so shocked someone actually said those words is just... Stopped for a minute. Like I just turned around back to my desk and just sat there and realized there's no hope for this country.

I once showed a person who was constantly scrolling and sitting through ads on their phone that those ads can just be blocked with little effort. They were interested in the idea so I introduced them to Firefox and uBlock Origin and I even helped them setting it up. Days later I meet them again and notice they're scrolling through ads again. I ask them why they're using all those apps instead of the Firefox we set up. They told me that using Firefox is difficult because dealing with URLs and setting up bookmarks is complicated. I can't ever imagine being inconvenienced by a different way of doing things to the point where I go back to watching ads.

I have met these people a few times. Complete utter fucking cucks to the point that "Patreon doesn't count" and one of them ACTUALLY defending Youtube TOS. I had the same reaction as you, comrade.
