I haven’t seen an ad in ages on the internet. Also, ducks in the park are free.

They are slowly creeping back in. Once as blockers became mainstream (I blame Apple), the war on them began. I already see them reappearing on YouTube and Reddit.
You can scoff and declare that no one should use these platforms, but both have captured whole swaths of discourse and content online. And they will just keep chipping away at making sure the ads appear. Cat/mouse all that.

sometimes the ‘content’ itself is an ad nowadays
