Alldeezy Posted October 10 Posted October 10 idk I pay for youtube and last.fm so I don't get ads on them even on my phone but whenever I visit a site with so many ads drives me bonkers
flower moon Posted October 10 Posted October 10 i switched to firefox a few years ago on lapptop and mobile + have an ad free version of youtube installed. i havent seen ads in so long. i honestly cant relate at all to the frustration
dumbsparce Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I can't even play ******* Scrabble on my phone anymore. My gameplay gets interrupted by ads of those trashy, scammy games every 2 minutes. So unbearable.

I hate it! Oh I wish. Unfortunately YouTube premium does not prevent you from seeing products placements & pay walls. I PAY for YouTube premium already but no you have to subscribe to this podcast or go to patreon for thing or pay extra to watch members only videos. Like ugh. Hopefully this streaming culture hits a wall soon.

I sometimes get ads in Spanish, about Latino diversity in the workplace, or about black haircare products, amongst others. But like I said, IDK if these are just general ads they give everyone, or if they're ads targeting anyone "liberal," or if they think I'm part of those groups.
Maneater Posted October 10 Posted October 10 Even on this website there's one ad that just takes over my whole screen 1

velocity Posted October 10 Posted October 10 revanced lets you patch other apps as well so if you have android i'm sure you can patch instagram as well i've been using adblockers everywhere for the last decade on all my devices so i'm not as affected by the ads themselves. however i am so sick of every single app or device spying on me and selling my data to ad companies. a couple of days ago i read ford patented tech that let's your car collect data and show appropriate ads on the car screen. when is it ENOUGH already
on the line Posted October 10 Posted October 10 I saw 4 ads on my screen on ATRL when I also saw this thread title. When I clicked on thread title, I had to close an ad to actually get to the thread. Yep, ******* over it.
Uncatena Posted October 10 Posted October 10 yesterday I got three story ads in a row on Instagram and I genuinely deleted the app

I♥Toronto Posted October 11 Posted October 11 I guess adblock doesn't work on this site anymore. I see TONS of ads all of a sudden
Radical Pessimism Posted October 12 Posted October 12 I'm using pie adblock for chrome on mac and it's great.
