Yep, I think one of the Subvertiser groups first told me: ads shit in your head.
I view ads with the same revulsion as a manipulative villian. Like OP says, I can't understand how people accept and tolerate it. Taking up public space, taking up over a quarter of commercial television, pretending to be real user posts online, fighting for your attention all hours of the day. I'm so, so glad non-for-profit forums like this exist for a breath of air (I use Tor to avoid trackers, which shouldn't be used with an ad blocker)
That, and "influencers". Like I said a couple of days ago in another post, it's surprising how such and ominous, creepy term became accepted and normalized.
