    I will 100% quit using electrically powered screen-besring devices if this becomes a thing. I’ll cold turkey electronic tech instantly, fuck that noise.

      I tried to cold turkey technology. I went near insane.

        It takes prep, and also, you’re probably not going to truly “cold turkey.” I like music, for instance, and there’s literally only two ways to get music now - streaming or 🏴‍☠️, so you would have to make plans for that. I’m ok with 🏴‍☠️ so I’d be set with that for a good while. I also like books, retro games (which I already have a large library of), and physical hobbies that don’t require internet - hiking, etc.

        I will not just lay down and accept intrusive Idiocracy levels of ads though. I will literally “cave man” the rest of life if necessary.

          There’s more than two ways to get music. I’m looking at a stack of CDs and records right now.

            Do modern bands still print CDs? I haven’t bought a CD in so long that I dont think I even own one anymore. I have bought directly from several bands “bandcamp”/other pages and that was cool. Got mp3, FLAC, artworks, lyrics, etc for less than the price of a CD except every penny went to the band.

            I love modern tech and don’t want to see it destroyed but I will gladly go insane like a mountain man if they try to find out how many ads they can serve before it causes siezures.

              Oh actually you know what you’re probably right 😬 I know modern bands do records still, but I think the last CD I bought was Tranquility Base in like 2016. Bandcamp is great!

              I’m totally on board with you. I hate ads, especially when they interrupt music – and double especially when they interrupt music and the ad has its own music that completely shits up the mood!
