a total removal of ads in my life. like, whatever marketers think I'm worth I'll just pay them directly to GTFO.
I've a Good news for you then you can achieve that for free. Since 2018 I've only seen ads only a handful of times and even that was because I was watching TV with my family on my sibling's "smart TV".
My setup, unlockorigins on web browser and next DNS on phone, also instead of YouTube use newpipe or even better tubular (tubular is just a fork of newpipe with sponsor block) and I pirate all the movies and TV shows.
yah I've got a DNS sink setup but my whole life isn't online.
Oh look at this fancy pants here they have a real life maybe even friends. Stop bragging about it.
Jokes aside, I don't mind real life ads (billboards) I enjoy reading them. It's like a fun game in my head. OK it might not be fun.
Google used to have something like this where you 'paid as you went' by outbidding other advertisers for ad slots on websites. Only worked for google ads, though, and being a google product it was killed eventually...
I agree. I wear glasses anyway and I would love a subscription that filtered out digital ads, billboards, or any other kind of ad
I know many sports games a lot of the adverts are imposed digitally before broadcast. I don't watch a lot of sports, but I would certainly enjoy watching more if there were an option to disable the added adverts.
