If Google presented me with ads for things I might be interested in and in a non-invasive way, wouldn’t mind looking at them at all.

Instead I get ads for the seemingly random shit I have absolutely zero interest in buying. How they are consistently wrong about my spending habits is unbelievable. I have two fucking hobbies! I don’t see ads for anything relating to them. Ever.

Ad blockers block more than just shitty ads. They also block malicious ads.

Also, there's like 10 per webpage, and then you have the damn pop-ups when you scroll 🤬
