Truth. Before there was at least some sort of pressure on the ad industry to incentivize our attention. They had to make it interesting or funny.

Now, it’s a far less consensual arrangement. “I will hold your Skinner box hostage until you listen to me!”

UBo, pinchflat, SponsorBlock, jellyfin, WireGuard, Apple shortcuts for auto connect and activation when I get in my car, and now I get my stories while I’m driving and those obnoxious vultures can fuck right off.

If Adblock blocking goes away, so will I. This is already more work than I feel like putting into it and the quality of online content has really gone downhill. The enshittification is so extreme now that it’s just not worth paying for things anymore.
