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.

    Of all the games infested with ads, your wife is subjecting herself to them for a common-as-Hell type of game that you could get a non-malicious version of from F-droid?!

    That’s just downright stupid.
