I mean I was kind of joking. Of course this news is as awful as it is unsurprising. But I really feel like there aren't many spaces where I would targeted ads from this. I torrent all the media I consume. I have a system wide adblocker on my phone, and ublock in all my browsers. I don't use any commercial social media.
