Half of lemmy who have either been pirating or freebooting since the mid 90's:
I have managed to cut ads out of my life so completely that I am legitimately offended by ads
After my parents quit smoking, they ended up with this, IDK, "born again nonsmoker" attitude where they were completely disgusted by the smell of cigarette smoke and couldn't stand to be around it at all.
I have the same attitude about ads.
When I go to the office instead of being on my home network with a pihole, and I go to show a website in a meeting, I'm just embarrassed by what shows up because the site didn't look anything like that when I was looking at it previously at home. I legitimately don't know how people actually use websites that are 80% ads
I was fortunate enough to have some creative input into our browser policies at work. Needless to say, Adnauseum ublock origin and some password safe extensions got added to the allow list
Ya, I get that. I have to stop myself from being weird and overly aggressive about it when watching tv at a friend's house.
Use your aggressive feelings, boy. Let the hate flow through you!
why edit in the word commercial but not change "the" to "a"?
Every time I go to my moms place and see what they put up with on a fire stick, it makes me fucking sick.
I'm doing my part.
I love this idea but nowadays I’m actively looking for commercials in many shows—watching Sealab or Family Guy or Space Ghost or super old Pokémon and the like is infinitely better with original commercials from the late 90s or early 2000s, ripped in mediocre quality from an SP VHS.
BUY KOOLAID, BUY TOYS R US TOYS, BUY VIDEO GAMES.
They're ya go, champ.
Nahhh you don’t get it, I’m guessing you’re pretty young. That’s cool.
