I only ever witness an ad on my computer when there's something new that isn't in my list of black listed domains on my pihole server.

In that case, a few clicks later they are on the "lol, no" list and I never see them again.

No smart tvs are allowed on my Wi-Fi. Instead they have tiny Linux PCs that let me watch whatever I please, ad free.

My mobile phone is graphene OS. My mobile browser has an ad blocker and works perfectly on things like YouTube.

News articles blocked by ads AREN'T when viewed via archive.is.

None of these things are hard enough that a beginner can't do the same.

I DARE you to do the same.
