Remember when Google introduced text-only ads to replace flashing animated banners and pop-up ads popular at the time? I didn’t mind those and I didn’t need an adblocker.
Nowadays YouTube is the primary reason I have to use an adblocker. It is literally unusable with all the ads.
Back in the day you accepted it because it wasn’t full on tracking you, wasn’t building profiles on you, wasn’t infiltrating all your search history just to sell you shit. It was a banner, you clicked or you didn’t. Enshittification hadnt happened.
Now? Block it all!!
