   Just to make it clear:

   Yes, I am aware of, and use, adblockers, piracy, and other ways of evading ads. These are exactly the things I was talking about when I was talking about "going out of your way".

   But that shouldn't be needed. We shouldn't be wasting so many resources on creating and ignoring ads.

   Capitalism was supposed to be efficient, they said!

     Does anybody else ever think how messed up it is that unless you go out of your way (or live in a very rural area), you are bombarded with ads for the entire time you are awake.

     - Ads on your phone
     - Ads on your TV
     - Ads on every place they can buy outside
     - Ads on almost every website

     It is honestly exhausting, and I wonder what a world with heavily limited ads would look like.

     Incidentally, the lack of ads is one of the very nice things about self hosting things, and being on fedi.
