    I don’t think I could use the internet if I didn’t have an adblocker. Ads genuinely anger me. I think it’s just from the early days with pop-overs and unders, blinking, non-collapsible and the like holding content hostage. Intrusive or not, I’ll do everything I can to not see an ad.

      using the internet without an adblocker is like fuckin a 5 dollar hooker behind a dumpster.

      You’re gonna catch something nasty and go through a lot of misery.

      Remember the mosquito banner? The one with the annoying mosquito sound?

      I remember.

      I use Mullvad so naturally, I can pick my exit country. Since I’m an iOS user (aka, no NewPipe etc) I always choose an exit country that is majority non-English-speaking. It makes the YT app adds so much more bearable if I can’t understand what they’re saying.
