it started 🤡 It seems unlikely that individuals who utilize Adblocker would be interested in making purchases. Perhaps they would be more willing to view advertisements or make purchases if their online activity wasn't constantly tracked across various applications, which can be a significant invasion of privacy. This is just something to consider.

Eh. Doesn't this just incentivise putting more ads? Look, people click on them, it works!

maybe, but it also fscks up the profile google/whoever has on you.

Last year, a streaming service from the adverts I was unable to avoid thought I was a teenage girl going to college next term.

@thelad @nixCraft That is an interesting approach indeed. Somehow throwing sand in the wheelworks could help, if other means don't (and it seems they don't.... )
While the website of Adnausium is quite informative already, I also asked Bard for its vision. This was the answer (I left out the possibility to also use uBlock Origin).
It shows a nice list of pros and cons...
