Are you absolutely sure you want to stop broadcasting your location to third-party advertisers? (Not recommended)

    If I have to see ignore ads, I'd rather see ignore ads that have nothing to do with my life. Especially because I'm aware people get more gullible as they age. As far as I know it hasn't happened to me yet but I wouldn't, would I?

    I'd say as long as you're aware that people tend to get gullible, you probably aren't.

    Same as how someone genuinely believing they are dumb means they aren't truly dumb, because a dumb person wouldn't ever realize that

    i have. in a trade magazine. it was an ad for a company producing a product that we needed for a project. which is why we pay for the trade magazine.

    Does Big Bill Hell's count?

    Like, I'm not saying they'd sell good cars. I'm not saying I'd go there intending to get a good car. But were it a real business I would absolutely buy a shitbox from Big Bill Hell's Cars, because it's not a business pretending to be my friend giving me a great deal, and that's worth more to me than some salesman blowing smoke up my ass. And while it is a lot funnier than the average late 90s used car dealership ad, it is also incredibly authentic to the form of one.

    If not, then I have also never seen an ad I liked.

    You guys should see Japanese ADs. It's like a MG-42 going off and you wonder did I see anything?

    Same, but tbh I see like one ad every... half a year? I'm always startled when one actually gets through uBlock & AdGuard, it's such a rare occasion.

    I've seen ads I like. Not sure it had anything to do with personalization though, just a nice looking shirt or some gadget I've been thinking about.
