     @epsi I haven't seen a youtube ad maybe ever, and I don't intend to. They just like to throw up that pop-up now and then, like today.

     @prettygood I've occasionally had to deal with an ad on another computer while using it
     
     it shows the effectiveness of an ad on me, that I cannot remember a single one

     @epsi I recall before I deleted my Facebook account, shortly after they implemented whatever dom element randomization that they did in order to bypass adblockers, and the ads that were served to me were trying to sell me cowboy boots.
     
     I was soothed by the fact that I had, up through that point, done a very good job preventing them from having any accurate information about my desires/trends.

     @Wobbegong @theorytoe my wife pays for them but the minute she sees an ad she just asks me to download whatever series she gets into.

     @Wobbegong @theorytoe gotta pre-game clearly. I may be a wife-having but I'm also an anxiety-haver.

     @prettygood I remember not seeing any Christmas ads and wondered why I felt no Christmas spirit.
