I do wonder what makes some people despise ads.

I myself do, but I’ve never been told to or even been echo chambered (well maybe now, but not always). Going back over tens years and detested them.

But at work some people think ad-blockers shouldn’t be a thing as it’s stealing as the internet runs on ads and I just can’t see that point of view. However valid it could be.

I don’t want to see them all my digital life as they are on the real world. Christ I’ve seen them on the pissing motorway ffs.

Well, I'm okay with old concept of ads. But it was them that decided that ads must double dip with customer information and it was them that decided that ads viewed by people who are engaged to the ads doesn't count as ads that was 'seen'.

Continuous race to the bottom since then.
