    I am so sick of ads being everywhere. It’s such a mental load.

        My pihole helps quite a bit, but some still sneak in. I had to use a VPN to get a cheap rate for Youtube premium which helps a ton. Instagram ads and mail ads are unavoidable still.

            Yes, at least in the US, we get a ton of ads via mail (post). It’s a huge pain. I use iOS and I don’t think there are any Instagram alternative apps.

      I genuinely believe ads are a form of pollution. The pollution they spread is psychological but it’s pollution nonetheless, ads exist to make us feel bad about something enough to make a purchase and why shouldn’t things that exist to make us feel bad be removed from our environment?
