I’ve been cutting every piece of software that shows me ads out of my life. I basically just have Lemmy and streaming services now. It’s pretty great, but now if I’m somewhere and I see or hear an ad I get extremely annoyed.
The lemmy post about them feeling gross was relatable. Like everyone's so fake enjoying [product] and you're just watching asking "how does this convince anyone to buy [product]
Doesn't everyone feel this way about ads? I don't feel like the advert algorithms ever get a good lock on me. On the few occasions I've gotten adverts it has been for things like "Visit the UAE" or "Visit Dubai" and a lot of pregnancy and feminine hygiene related stuff.
I'm a gay man. Pretty sure I'd get stoned to death in Dubai/UAE, and pregnancy is just not on the menu for me.
Yup, they never figured me out either.. Ads are annoying and stupid and thinking about how much resources are poured into them and how much everyone's time is wasted makes me angry.
I don't remember the last time I ever saw an ad but I'm pretty sure if I got one it would be completely unrelated as well. I got way too many different personas on the interwebs. I don't even know anymore which one is real.
This is me with those stupid "Dude relaaaaaaaxxxx" ads for Hello Fresh. I watch them, oddly mesmerized by how bad they are. Also some of the things they show are literally 3 ingredients (potatoes, cheese, pepper for smashed potatoes).
To their credit, they've stopped claiming they're cheaper than groceries
This thread is so wild, I haven’t seen ads in so long (unless you count ads disguised as organic posts.)
I don’t know any of these things. Everyone needs a PiHole.
I have it, unfortunately it does not seem to block Snapchat ads. Or maybe it does and I just haven't noticed? A lot of the time I'm using Snapchat out of the house, I haven't bothered to set up an exit note for tail scale yet (Even worse, tell scale is still broken for me on Android)
I don’t think it can block Snapchat or YouTube ads :c
Ublock works a dream on YT, but I don’t use Snapchat so I don’t have a solution for that.
I'm extremely close to doing the same, YouTube is hanging on by an adblock thread
i love sports so unfortunately it's being injected into my eyeballs every game everywhere
Yeah, I've noticed it's gotten really bad. I'm not a sports fan myself, but I've tried watching NFL with my brother, and it's borderline unwatchable due to the sheer amount of ads.
FTFY
Bruh it’s seriously starting to look like that’s how I’m gonna do shit from now on. Streaming services are getting enshittified like crazy.
