99% of advertisements serve zero public benefit. Its in society's best interest to actively hinder them whenever possible IMO.

Advertisement is the ruling classes' graffiti. Obliterating it is a public service.

I like this take

All right well I hate to disagree but advertisements do support a lot of websites and news organizations, or at least they used to before the tech Giants took most of the advertising money.

Sorry, whose infrastructure are these gas pump advertisements propping up? Pretty sure this is just going towards lining someone's pockets.

I was just responding to 99% of advertisement being whatever. Obviously this one is bullshit, a lot of it's bullshit. Maybe most.
