I'm working thru a marketing cert via Google rn (working with the enemy) and I just learned how many ads we're exposed to on a daily basis!

Any guesses?

I'm not average. I've had system level adblock on my phones for at least 10 years. I see zero adverts on my phones. I use linux for my computers and of course ublock on the browsers and vpn 100% of the time on phones and computers. Zero adverts for years.

The one place I have to deal with them is streaming and air broadcast on TV because I haven't carved out time to set up the *arr suite, so I get it on amazon prime (bastards broke the contract that got me to join) and any other streaming service. No adverts on YouTube due to an app I installed on the Chromecast, and the TV has no network access.

So... I see maybe .1 per day?
