    I’m very curious as to how you survived on the Internet without an adblocker for the last decade.

      My guess is they grew up with it like that. Us old fuckers privy to the Internet of the 90s and 00s, know what it should be.

        Corporations ruining public perception of our most valuable tools for self education and autonomy so they can scrape a dollar off the underside of society!? Say it it isn’t so.

      I know right?

      I haven’t seen an ad in over a decade, and that includes TV commercials, well maybe TV commercials in sporting events

      There are still significant parts of the internet without ads.

      Although I’d admit that the gap between the demise of usenet and the birth of the fediverse was tough.
