Good VPNs have adblockers.

Everyone on the Internet should have one now. Also a password generator.

Thanks for your response! If you light events with broadcast cameras, I am the annoying video engineer behind the camera controls asking about flicker and color balance. I hope they keep making y'all's specialty bulbs. Looks like there's a big list of exceptions!

I wonder if this will have any effect on the film industry...

"Hey it smells like you stepped in shit."

"What makes you assume it's shit?"

Several cities, including Paris and Grenoble in France, São Paulo in Brazil, and Chennai in India have taken concrete steps in this direction. In São Paulo, ads are banned from certain parts of the city, and in Paris, they are prohibited near schools.

Several more cities are following suit, with a growing ad-free movement aiming to make cities a better place to live. ‘Adfree Cities,’ a UK-based nonprofit, is one such example. Cities such as Bristol, Birmingham, and Cardiff are part of its network, attempting to drastically reduce the amount of urban advertising

This is an excellent trend, and one that only lobbyists would fight against.

Since the online advert bubble seems to be bursting, I'm going to take that as a glimmer of hope. And until then, VPN maximus, ads be gone!

I wish more people understood that rural life is really freaking hard, especially if you don't already have connections.

It stays on my phone for the sole reason that I have notifications turned on from a local weather account

Can you elaborate on this?

I can't WFH so I haven't really kept up with the trend

The comments are suggesting everyone do charge backs.
