@theotherbrook it most definitely includes instagram. What an absolute piece of shit.

I know how out of touch I am because I honestly, legitimately cannot believe people still use ad-driven social media in 2025. I mean...REALLY???

It reminds me of the time I was like 19 and happily on mushrooms, walking down the street in Denton, TX, and I stopped in my tracks and was like, "wait...is this SERIOUSLY illegal??? No, no, I must be making that up because I'm on mushrooms."

@alisynthesis Ha! That is one tautology I can totally get behind.

I've been using adblockers for so long that when I see people using sites without them I can't believe they put up with that.

@theotherbrook @alisynthesis What's wild to me is that blockers have been more or less broken on Chrome for... at least a couple months at this point, and people haven't been leaving it in droves (and I'm sure many that have have ended up on Brave or Opera GX or whatever other corporate Chromium that doesn't make me feel any better, although I assume you can still block all the ads you want).

At some point people have to remember why they switched to Chrome in the first place ('cause it seemingly gave a fk about user experience) and jump ship for the very same reason, right?

...right!?
