Frankly, we don't need Luigi, we Tyler Durden

Just without the hyper toxic masculinity aspect of Tyler, the destroy all the corps and create anarchy Tyler has become surprisingly based otherwise

If it gets the job done, I'll compromise on how easy it would be to be around it

Start teaching people to ignore ads. I know I do, and it's something my parents taught me when I was younger.

It won't help with data collection, but it will make it a lot harder for these assholes to put the pieces together.

How about teaching them to install Adblockers?

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 2 weeks ago

Only helps wherever adblockers work, but I'm all for a multiple discipline approach!

The only place adblockers don't work is real world billboards.

Honestly whats even the point. It shows that she is losing income and will buy cheaper juice so its advertising cheaper juice brands which she is going to buy anyway. It honestly seems very stupid.

You could make the argument that someone could guide her to a specific cheap brand, but I agree that it's stupid

I have made a very concerted effort to block all ads from my network. I don't want to see them, but more importantly, I don't want their scripts, cookies, and crud on my network. This is my data created by my labor. Now my labor is mostly clickety, click, click, but it's still mine and I reserve the right to do with my data as I see fit. I have a huge problem with corporations using my data to bolster the potential profits to their investors and themselves, while not giving me due compensation . Corporations buy out other corporations, not necessarily to bring their products into the purchaser's catalog, but to get eyeballs on their stolen data.
