Honestly, that's a good question. I use a DNS level ad block and that takes care of the vast majority of them. I also use a lot of either open source software which does not contain ads or front ends to services that do contain ads that strip the ads out like newpipe.
I recently wanted to watch a TV show that I could only find on Discovery Plus.
Signed up, started playing and an advert starts playing!?!? When did it become normal to serve ads for a service you’re already paying for.
Anyway I cancelled and pirated the show
Since cable television? 🤔
Lol nooiiiceee
