I've been blocking ads for so long that actually seeing them feels perverse (leminal.space)

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.

Used to do this, however nowadays I worry it will fuck up their YouTube and they won't be able to fix it themselves lol
