I use ad blockers and open source privacy focused software whenever I can but occasionally I have to use computers that don't belong to me or an older phone where my usual applications aren't installed and seeing all the advertisements just feels dirty and dystopian.

I think the worst ads are the text to speech ones that say "Download this app today". The unblinking energenic people saying you can make a living at home are probably a close second.

I’m cool with ads as long as they aren’t filled with malware. Unfortunately they’re all filled with malware.

I remember the times I'd go from watching Tivo to trying to watch live TV.
