I can’t afford to pay 20€ per month–that’s more than my whole monthly phone bill with something like 50 or 100 GB of data. Cost of living is high enough as it is.
I also lack the most valuable currency there is in one’s life, one that you simply can’t get more of. Time. So I block ads, which cost a lot of time, with extreme prejudice.
Ads are also bad for my mental health, they just irritate me, rack up stress and easily swing me into bad mood.
Lastly, I don’t give a fuck about costing money to some multi-billion corporation. I don’t care about them as much as they don’t care about me; the corpos see me just as a resource to exploit as much as possible then move on to another one when there’s nothing more to exploit, and I see the corpos exactly the same way. Call it mutual parasitism. Yes, I’m a parasite. And parasites are the most successful lifeforms on Earth.
You regard mental health issues as a character flaw in 2023? All of western civilization deals with intergenerational dysfunction and late stage capitalism. Of course we’re stressed out.
Usually we only hear derision regarding mental health from the alt-right. Are you an alpha male? Are you a Brexiteer?
Educate yourself on the harsh conditions of the real world and grow some empathy.
Otherwise there will be no-one left to stand for you when the Leopards come to eat your face.
So when is something bad for your mental health vs “something I don’t like”?
I’m all for mental health, therapy, etc, but I associate being irritated with ads just being normal. Nobody likes them. Use it as a break to rest your eyes with the 20 20 20 rule. Get some water, use the restroom. Guess what, those things are typically good for your mental health.
If we recklessly associate being impatient with mental health, you’re diluting the latter and doing nobody a favor.
If you really have a mental health condition that sends you into mood swings when seeing something as common as an ad, I sure as hell hope you’re getting therapy.
Looks like they deleted their comment, but someone was saying watching ads is being “sub human”.
Like homie there are literal wars going on rn and you think having an ad shown to you is a violation of your human rights. Then they turn around and call other folks privileged. Bruh lol.
