Zero but I’m neither average nor American.
The odds of that are very near zero. They're including things like brand names and logos as ads. The Lemmy logo itself would be considered an ad
They're not getting numbers in the thousands by only including intrusive ads
That’s rather silly. Might as well include road signs “advertising” places to go and how far away they are.
Jokes on you, there are ads as posts on lemmy.
Bots are everywhere.
I'll see 3-5 digital ads, on my phone at lunch in 20 mins, everything else is 100% ad free. I grew up with 80s tv commercials, nothing affects me now, lol, I also haven't had cable in, woah, 25 years Also not from the states
Are there no billboards where you live? Do businesses not advertise their services there? Do you just stay inside with your eyes closed while being either above or below average?
I live in the countryside. You know, that place with all the green.
