Comment on YSK that Apple makes hundreds of millions of dollars with personalized advertising. If you have an iPhone, you should turn it off.

Yes, everyone should do everything they can to avoid seeing advertisements. No one is immune, and advertising is very effective. That’s how Trump ended up as President twice. Yes, that was advertising, all of it.

It’s hard for them to show me ads when I barely look at my phone. It’s hard for them to show me ads through uBlock. I go most days without seeing an intrusive ad. I only see ads on the rare occasion I do online shopping. I do that the same way I shop IRL, as quickly as possible.
