    Not just personal mind poison, but societal poison too.

    i came to realize this when when my home built router died a few months ago.

    it was based on pfsense and i had setup publicly shared advertisement blocking; so i hadn’t see any ad at all for years.

    i became annoyed when i started seeing them after the router died and then i actively became angry when i was bombarded by them while watching tv as i was visiting family, yet they didn’t think anything was wrong with watching the same mcdonalds advertisement 500x in a single hour.

    that shit has an impact on your psyche whether you know right away or not.

      Yup. For me it was when I went on vacation with my family. Tried to enjoy a movie in the evening after a day out and my god. Ads every literal 7 minutes of movie. How the fuck anyone can deal with that is beyond me.
