The next iteration of gaslighting is already here: That it's no big deal anyway since you can just use an ad blocker. Riiight, let's all just turn our eyes away to make the monster go away. Surely, it'll get bored and stop listening and recording, and surely, it will not sell its collected data off to banks, insurance providers, the government, law enforcement... right?
Seriously... If ad-blockers worked at a high enough level to actually impact this shit, then they wouldn't be doing it. They know most people don't bother with ad blockers, and because of that, they're low-hanging fruit.
