Just rage canceled Paramount+ after seeing the 1 minute of unstoppable ads before each episode.

Then they’ll say people don’t want to pay for content…ffs

    I’ve used Pi-Hole for years now and it’s absolutely indispensable. It’s one of those things where you kind of forget about it then you’re over visiting someone’s house without it and it’s absolutely jarring to see ads cropping up all over the place where you’re not used to seeing them.

      I know what you mean.

      Browsing the Internet at work is a horrible experience. I’m actually shocked at the ad intrusion that I am usually saved from!

        What’s hilarious to me is when friends visit and then always comment on how much nicer it is using their phones on my wifi.

        I rarely ever need a browser for work but damn I opened it the other day to search some stuff and nearly every single article was so covered in ads I couldn’t figure out what I was supposed to be reading. 2 sides bars, an floating over head, an ad across the bottom, and some weird floating one that follows as you scroll. How are people not using ad blocks

        Do you mean with your phone on company wifi?

          Company laptop which is pretty much hardened so no chance of installing anything that is unapproved. No idea how people survive without an adblock.
