Another GenX who can't stand ads here. Folks always had the TV on so I learned to not be around it. BUT one of the down-sides with the ol' tellie - the more you avoid it, the more susceptible you are when you're around it unexpectedly. I find it almost impossible to talk to someone when there's a television screen behind them. Damn those industry psychologists who figure out how to capture your attention.
Probably part of what got me into computers (then ad blockers). Definitely one of the things I love about Android phones - private DNS server (settings/connections/more connection settings/private DNS/dns.adguard.com)
I feel like for me it has made me consume way less media in general, but also because of that, more selectively. When I read a news article, it's almost instinct now to copypasta the link to archive.ph
There's nothing here!
