I really thought the early Netflix era would have emboldened this attitude in everyone, but yes it’s incredible how tolerant so many people are about more and more ads in everything as long as it means something is cheap or free. I don’t have a ton of money to throw around either, but the cost of eliminating ads and just paying for what I am getting is almost always worth it.

astanix@lemmy.world 4 weeks agoI am vehemently against ads in all places for all things. It’s astounding to me when my family or friends are shocked that I’m so against them. People just accept ads everywhere and it’s terrible.

I have often mused on how to remotely demolish billboards along highways. Almost all ads are garbage.
The only ones I’m even remotely OK with are the old-timey painted ones on the sides of brick buildings.

This is so true. My own daughters, who I raised from birth, and who I tried to inculcate with good sense…yes, even they…they tolerate ads. I know, I know. It is hard to believe. But I have personally witnessed them watching Youtube ads with apparent interest. That was a hard day.
